GP does not practice what it preaches!

Pros

Solid pay check every two weeks. I was allowed to take my 5 weeks of vacation. I did have decision rights over my direct reports.

Cons

Koch bought GP in the spring of 2006. Immediately we all went through MBM Training . MBM teaches integrity, humility, respect, fulfillment, etc. Senior management does not practice this in my division. Commitment and dedication make no differerence whatsoever. I got a very raw deal in the end. If you are 50+, make a decent salary, and have 15+ years of seniority, you had better be looking for a job. No bonuses since the Koch acquisition. No raises since the Koch acquisition.

Pros

Excellent retirement benefits Friendly, team oriented co-workers Great location with on-site day care, gym and dry cleaning Results based company

Cons

Very little career pathing, so employees have to proactively seek new opportunities within GP. GP is not known for their loyalty as they would rather bring in someone new at market value than true-up a current employee's salary to market value. Raises are the exception than the norm.
