Pros

Good insurance, paid holidays,upper management was easy to talk too! And the co-workers were pleasant to work with

the second shift placement and the job being a union job meant that no one was getting off of second shift.

Pros

The Atlanta office is nice, and located close to a variety of lunch time options. They are renovating several floor with open concept business cubicles that allow increased communication.

Cons

Any learning required to complete the job is up to you. Very limited help, or assistance to learn the complete function of your job. No mentors and no guidance. MBM culture at Georgia Pacific is having difficulty being fully incorporated. Middle management is slow to switch to the new philosophy, preferring the good old boy, command and control legacy. They talk the MBM talk but they cannot walk the MBM walk! Mobility within the company is difficult at best. Once you are in a position, you are there to stay. Compensation beyond your initial salary is rare. The Corporate building has a covered parking deck that employees have to pay to park in and the corporate office has a gym that employees must pay to go too.

Pros

MBM and the leadership influence. The Koch acquisition was a great thing for this company, but.....

Cons

The old regime is still living and breathing inside of GP. The Koch acquisition and installment of MBM into the company is a great thing....however, they haven't address everyone. Many cavemen still exist and are Machiavellian slaying MBM followers....besmirching those that are doing the right thing to save their own incompetent butts....
