Pros

The people at GP make it the organization of choice, if you value great working relationships and down-to-earth attitudes. I don't think I ever met a "stranger" working at GP. Plenty of blue collar workers in the upper ranks, in fact the company philosophy supports career progression and transitions based on value creation. "Where can you create the most value?" is the mantra. If there's not a specific role that describes the amazing work you do or you are simply doing something different than your actual job description, you can work with your supervisor to tailor your job description and create a position for the actual job you are performing. It's a really great company in this regard.

Cons

Engineers more or less run the show which is okay, however, Principle Based Management (PBM) guidelines should apply evenly to all employees regardless or their position.

Short-sighted and disorganized

Pros

Many remote work opportunities available

Cons

I had 8 bosses in 6 years. I dodged multiple lay-offs before getting caught in one and pushed into a role I was much less suited to. A year later they reposted the job I was laid off from (an extremely niche-SME role). Their management style is best characterized as "flavor of the week", incredibly short-sighted, and without any regard for the developing or retaining employees. They also are well known for avoiding raises.

Pros

They,re start pay is great. 90 day $1 raise Good benefits Very strict point

Cons

Mandatory OT No sick time Very strict point system Favoritism You’re supervisor controls your success above even HR No training They will bully you They will sabotage you to get out of there Incorrect attendance tracking system. System shows no call no shows for no reason They only give you the raise if they like you… well if the supervisor likes you. Overturn rate is extremely high so be prepared to work… You get sent home expected about 4-5 days within a 3 month span, consider that… They lie in orientation… The 8 points doesn’t really exist you get 5.5 and you’re basically fired…
