      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.

      PHONEY and OVERRATED

      Pros

      You'll be lured to GP with a great starting salary, subsidized transportation, a downtown location, and the promise of MBM (respect, value creation, challenge process....). Will look good on your resume.

      Cons

      Your expectations will be dashed. No annual cost-of living raise, and most promotions don't include a raise. Horrifying micromanagement that will suck the joy out of your job and the life right out of you. The MBM guidelines, if actually implemented, would be awesome. But, GP management only talks about MBM it doesn't actually walk it. Management wants you to think GP isn't like other huge corporations, that they hold themselves to a higher standard called MBM guiding principles. However, once you get here, you find out its just as bad or worse than other companies, GP just hides it better at first. If you do challenge an idea in a meeting, be prepared to have it show up on your review. Respect and integrity, though part of MBM principles, is phoney and counterfeit.
