Pros

Great compensation and benefits. Great recognition from management if you were willing to put in the hours, show some leadership and especially competency.

Cons

Lots of turnover, tough time at this mill early on. Politics and blame showed up from time to time. This improved with time and is better now.

Pros

You are promoted and paid based upon value creation, which is a great structure if you are a high performer. You must put some time into capturing and communicating that value creation PROACTIVELY if you really want to do well. Being private, and focusing on long term value creation rather than short term foolish decisions is a big plus.

Cons

The unwritten expectation is long hours, which tends to make work-life balance a struggle. The culture of the company is not for everyone, but if oyu can find a way to manage your workload and demonstrate value creation, you can have a good career.

Pros

Georgia Pacific was a great place to work. The Cleveland Ohio facility had a family atmosphere and were proud to work there. The benefits were good and the company took care of you when needed.

Cons

After Koch purchased Georgia Pacific, the company started to care about the company and less on the employees. Koch cut back on benefits and compensation.
