      Pros

      Some of my co-workers are incredible. They exhibit the integrity & values that G-P used to have as a culture. The pay is good, and the benefits are decent.

      Cons

      MBM Principles are used more as punishment then guidelines. Management is way too heavy at the top, and seems to talk more then act. Good performance is not consistently recognized or rewarded. Rank and file employees are not valued - they are taken for granted until they get fed up and resign. Investment in employees (career development & pathing, leadership development, investment in development) is lacking.

      GP is not the employer of choice in the corrugated industry any longer. Miserable morale and leadership.

      Pros

      Stable company. No layoffs in in recent history.

      Cons

      Management hides behind the "MBM Guiding Principles" any time they are forced out of their comfort zone. GP has taken MBM and bastardized it to the point where it is unrecognizable in practice at the plant level. No salary increases or bonuses since Koch bought the company in 2005. Total micromanagement at all levels. If you have ever had an original thought, GP is not the place for you. Middle managers are continually thrown under the bus to avoid calls to the anonymous employee complaint "hotline". Have witnessed long time successful managers careers ruined by false and inflated calls to this hotline.
