Pros

GP is has a great company culture. They work hard to welcome challenges and become more transparent. I genuinely believe the majority of people at this organization try to do the right thing.

Cons

There still exists a subtle hierarchy and you better fight to get rightfully compensated. They tout that you're compensated for the "value" you create, but if people actually saw that they wouldn't have some much bloat on their office floors. Truth is that GP is an old school company struggling to adjust and retain top talent, especially the young guns.

Pros

A great recruiting process setting up great hopes - then the cool-aid quickly ferments when assigned to a remote location outside Atlanta. You are on you own and subjected to immense questioning of decisions that must be made daily - these question quickly involve your personal commitment, character, motives and dignity; something I've never encountered in 27 years of exemplary results producing Leadership positions I've held with smaller and much larger companies! MBM ???

Cons

No raises or bonuses in 3 years even though my site produced Division and site best Safety/Quality/Service/Cost and financial results. Severe micromanagement which defies anything close to the "guiding principle" Principled Entrepreneurship. Somewhat understandable considering current significant financial losses in Gypsum but not at all good considering the total lack of common sense and logic in Atlanta!

Pros

Pay is outstanding Benefits are good Great co-workers

Cons

Mandatory overtime. We are told on Thursdays whether or not we are to work on Saturday. Terrible point system. Let's just say that you better not get sick or call off because you need personal time.
