Pros

Great learning experience, co-workers are friendly and enjoyable to work around, given responsibility right off the bat. Very laid back place to work, but when time is critical can be very stressful environment, some managers tend to micro-manage while others fail to manage at all.

Cons

They have great principles but do not follow, this is improving but very slowly. Very high turnover rate at GP because other companies are willing to compensate for talent. GP claims to want to find and retain the best talent but fails to compensate those with talent. To get a raise you must threaten to leave, but by that time its to late anyways, your going to leave anyways.

Good idea, bad practice

Pros

Steady work, always had a paycheck. Say the right thing to the right person and get promoted regardless of skill level. Hourly positions still pay and have good benefits. Good to have a job in this economy.

Cons

They have a good philosophy, but no one including the Kock brothers practice it. No one will give a straight answer for fear of being held accountable to it, compensation, benefits, promotional opportunities are a joke, no raise in three years, none on the horizon, no bonuses as promised, you can get better medical benefits on social security or state assistance. Pick and use any mbm principles they think will serve their immediate needs, disregard the rest. Talk safety and accountability, but haven't a clue what that means.
