Mediocre Company That Does Not Invest in Their Employees - Anonymous employee Georgia-Pacific Employee Review

Employees typically receive a pay increase once every for years. IComp is limited (despite what you might be told before making a decision to join GP) and will typically come down once you receive a salary increase. This keeps your total compensation flat as inflation continues to increase. Career mapping is next to impossible unless you have been at GP for close to ten years. They say you own your career, but you can't drive your career unless you are given the opportunity. Driving results is not rewarded so most people in HQ do as little as possible to get by. Why work your tail off when you know it won't lead to a promotion, salary or compensation increase? You are treated like a number at GP. It is SOP to let excellent talent walk out the door only to replace them with someone a lot more expensive and with 1/2 the knowledge. Stay away from this place. Especially if you are not tied to Atlanta or have CPG experience. If you are considering joining GP, reach out to ex-GP employees that are connected to you via linkedin. Ask them about their experiences. No company is perfect, but there are very few that treat their employees worse than GP.
