      Pros

      a paycheck every 2 weeks

      Cons

      this place is the micro managed facility I have ever worked for, you cant keep track of all the things management is throwing at you on a daily basis. mbm,op ex, moe, I just wish I could come to work and make a quality product without all the bs. we have roughly 14 salaried people running about 50 production people. what a joke, they keep thinning the production people out. while all the pork is in management.

      Don't get comfortable at Georgia Pacific

      Quality manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Georgia Pacific is a great place to start a career. The focus on safety and environmental stewardship is second to none. There are outstanding opportunities to learn Charles Koch's MBM pholosophies on running a business and free market economics that will help through out ones life. Employees learn a lot about creating value for the company. This is the basis employment. You provide a service to the company and receive a paycheck in return.

      Cons

      As market conditions change and you may find yourself in a facility, department or working a particular job that that suddenly has less economic value to the company. The job will be eliminated and the employee will be terminated with no opportunity to be employed by GP again. It doesn't matter if you you have 1 year of skill with the company or 30 years. Likewise, if you are injured outside of work you are considered a potential liability to the company and your employment will be terminated unless a physician certifies you as 100% recovered regardless of length of service, skills or performance.

      Big, data-driven company

      Communications
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Private company - not all the ups and downs of a public corporation; good location in downtown, convenient to public transportation; good "fringe" benefits, including child care - unique for downtown employers

      Cons

      As a private company, financials are need-to-know, so you may never know if sales are down, leading to headcount reductions; expensive to park; Despite a leadership team" in Atlanta, the true management is Wichita, KS - can lead to bad decisions being made by people too far from the company
