Most of the managers are computer-illiterate and lack the vision to create long term value - Engineer Georgia-Pacific Employee Review

Pros

Big corporation and even after the recent mill shut downs the company still commands a significant market share. GP employees prioritize employee safety and laid back work culture.

Cons

Real performers hardly ever get noticed as supervisors shadow them and give no visibility to higher leadership. Supervisors use the word "data" a lot but they hardly use data. Area leaders have a strange habit of disregarding the theories proposed during a conference call or group meeting but share those "copied ideas" at an appropriate time in a different group setting sometime later to get a pat on the back from Atlanta leadership.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
