Pros

I had such high hopes and was excited about starting the job with GP. There are really good people that work here. 401(k) match is really good (but I'll be leaving that behind when I leave....3 year vesting period) I've had good experiences when dealing with some of the corporate groups (MBM training...Awesome! OPEX group.....Awesome!)

Cons

Dysfunctional Leadership at the top. I was in a plywood mill and it seems that the Building products division is behind the times. Command and Control style leadership Low morale on the production floor because leadership fails to act in the best interest of the workers Lack of trainning

Pros

Close to home...good pay...good benefits.. Great employees. Good employee service center online to review your benefits and employee info

Cons

Crappy scheduling of work to be done, mandatory overtime working employees on average of 68 hrs a week. Horrible training process. Setting unrealistic goals using a 1/3 of the workforce that would be needed to complete said goals

Pros

A steady pay check. Great location. Located in downtown Atlanta. Lean layers between junior levels and senior levels. General Management training.

Cons

Don't give pay raises. Average benefits. Management is good at numbers but bad at people development. Be prepared to deal with conservative politics.
