      No bonuses, no cost of living raises, no traditional healthcare, but I still love it!

      Pros

      The Company is apart of the Koch portfolio, so you can easily apply for opportunities to advance or move up within all the subsidiaries and the parent company Koch. My group is really flexible and I've heard that most groups are flexible when it comes to working 1-2 days from home, which becomes a huge money saver when commuting to Downtown Atlanta and having to pay for parking. Depending on your group, your input and ideas matter to the success of the overall group and sometimes the Company, so there is a sense or empowerment that I get as an employee.

      Cons

      Well the title pretty much says it all. GP has done a wonderful job in some aspects with empowering its employees with its company's management model, but that model also neglects economy 101 that inflation is real and not everyone can be an outstanding performer ever year all the time to get at least a 2-3% inflation raise to keep up with the cost of living. Additionally, if you are an outstanding performer, you may receive a 1-5k spot bonus, but don't expect that every year. I mean you really have to go above and beyond your work responsibilities and quantify your contribution in savings for GP in order to get that bonus. Also they have only HSA high-deductible plans, so no traditional plans for those employees with younger ones that you know will visit the doctor frequently because they are just sickly creatures. They you up to a certain amount for family HSA, but I did prefer paying a higher premium up front to manage my after taxes cash flow being paid towards my lower medical deductible.

      Antiquated culture, slow moving production, good benefits

      Pros

      Great benefits and pay Good structure--Roles. Responsibilities & Expectations helpful

      Cons

      The culture is old school. Pay your dues, I need to see you to believe you're working, etc. Very little diversity-- age, race and especially gender The company is too large to be agile in their commitment to innovation and progress Approval process moves bottom up. Makes it very difficult for things to get done because if someone in upper management doesn't approve, the process starts over Older employees adopt the mentality of making fun of millennial/gen z employees. Love to complain of laziness, entitlement, etc. and then wonder why they have trouble attracting and retaining young, fresh talent I was consistently told to "keep my head down" and don't work too hard. There is a culture of "everybody play nice, do the bare minimum and collect your paycheck"

      Process Engineer Intern

      Pros

      I got to work on a large variety of projects, including supporting several large capital projects. I really appreciated the flexibility I had to work on different projects and work independently as an intern. The mentors and management I had were very helpful and good to work with. I many of the employees were really encouraging and intelligent people, which made the experience enjoyable.

      Cons

      They were regularly undermanned, which meant many of the shift workers put in a lot of overtime. You could see that wore on a lot of people, and people got disgruntled because things didn't change quickly enough when they voiced a need for change.
