Georgia-Pacific reviews

Be ready to give your all or none at all. Scope of work would be reasonable if time enough is given to complete task(s). Scheduling is by far the biggest battle the company faces. Scheduling for workloads and scheduling for personal time. Regardless of what the schedule says you are expected to remain until job is complete and tested; turnovers are nonexistent. Day shift can and will be called in early and expected to stay late as night shift is not expected to participate in either instance. Vacation approval varies based on supervision. For the demographic, the pay is roughly fair, but there are far better options available within the immediate area. Accountability is nonexistent aiming the operational side of duties. Example, the parking lot wreaks daily of substance (herbal and alcoholic) and is most noticeable at shift change. If you are looking for a job to get you by GP will suffice. If you are looking for a long term career with opportunity to climb the corporate ladder I would suggest otherwise. They would rather hire outside than lose a quality or experienced employee who is pursuing a higher position within the company to better themselves.

* Management is extremely inept. They just hired two floor supervisors to get us "back in line", even though we aren't the problem - management is. * Micromanagement is a cancer here. * Benefits are sub-standard for such a large company. * Rotating shiftwork. We work the day shift, then midnight shift, then evening shift, and so on. We currently work 8-hour shifts, but we used to work 12-hour shifts on a rotating schedule (7 days of day shift and 7 days of night shift each month), and we would get 7 days off at the end of each rotation. Now, we only get our weekends off, but didn't get an increase in the number of vacation days we are allotted (well, the union president managed to negotiate an extra week of vacay for the senior workers but us junior workers remain at two weeks a year). So much for union support. BOHICA.
