Pros

GP takes care of its employees. They are serious about the open-door policy, and the guiding principles make this a good place to work.

Cons

Raises are rarely given. Vertical promotions are hard to come by, meaning once you reach middle management it's likely you won't go anywhere else or get a raise. For this reason, there's a fair amount of turnover of senior employees, as they can get higher salaries and more responsibilities at another company.

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.
