      Great people that helped me develop as a business leader

      Pros

      For those in Marketing, will help those seeking responsibilities of a general manager. Try understanding of the full P&L, their drivers and challenging the member and their team on how to affect a better bottom-line through true ownership of the bottom line.

      Cons

      Work-life balance was an extreme issue, particularly if you lived outside of the perimeter. A common problem in any corporate job, but feel that senior management team could do a better job of investing of themselves in their people on a more personal level would have done much to get people to truly "buy-in".

      Many square pegs trying to fit into round holes

      Pros

      Job stability. The manufacturing facilities are profiting well, and the salaried workforce is run so thin, it's almost impossible to get fired. Very fine people working in GP. Very easy to get involved in a meaningful way.

      Cons

      Very political organization. Kock brought in MBM and there are many of the old-GP attitudes still prevailing. Upper management constantly preaches spreading MBM. All they want is for the ground level salaried workforce to do MBM for them so they don't have to worry about it. Compensation below average. Raises are few and far between.

      Good for early career development

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is a lot of work and room for process improvement which is great for an ambitious employee. Good benefits. Better than average. Company has good overall morale and hardworking employees at the plant level. Size of company allows for advancement opportunities. Truly exceptional employees are rewarded handsomely.

      Cons

      Lacks core mid-level career development. MBM pay structure allows for big promises and little results. Not a completely union environment so plant level employees really don't have a voice that can be heard by top level management. GP has a very old work culture, diversity hasn't made its way up to the top. Pay is average.
