Pros

Great experience. Got to do a lot of things and learn about the pulp and paper industry and gain experience in MRO purchasing. GP was a great place to get "real world" experience and start my career...I will just be finishing my career at another company

Cons

If you don't want to be married to your job and sacrifice your personal life (I was on call 24/7 for one week a month) this isn't the place for you. It seemed like the purchasing group in the mills was the cleanup crew. When other groups would screw something up, they would simply figure out a way to dump it in our lap and let us figure it out while they go home at 4 every afternoon. Unless you have a great passion for trees this probably isn't a long-term place for you.

Pros

I worked for the publically traded GP several years before we were bought out. I was treated very well and enjoyed working for the company. Pay and benefits were OK once the Koch's took over in 2005. It was just a job.

Cons

Lack of annual cost of living increases, incentive compensation was lowered, raises were tough to get, too many compliance rules. Not a great place to work after the Koch's took control.
