Pros

Good hard co-workers who care about the products and services produced. Brand loyalty and recognition. Strategicaly aligned facilties with vast of product mix that is accepted and well thought of in the market place.

Cons

The Koch philosophy of the MBM Guiding principles and upper Management's interpretation has destroyed employee morale, created divisions within the organization and allow upper Mangement to build their "inner circle" to insulate themselves from the organization. New philosophy is to pass the blame down and not be accountable. Upper Mgmt only practices the MBM framework when it works in their favor and one of the five attributes-Knowledge Processes- Buyer beware when positvely trying to "challange ideas". To much corruption from all the Gray area left to be interpreted. Too many acrynyms used to sound smarter then offering a solution instead of a nice 3 letter name! Ship is sailed out to sea and the Captains seem to be arguing over the "decision rights" to try to turn it around while the Mother ship(Koch) is bleeding it for profit before they sell the ship to the junk yard for scrap metal.

Pros

Great place to work, good opportunities, good people. I enjoyed working at GP and learned a lot about the process.

Cons

Do not give raises or the spot bonuses for performance. There is no real incentive to work any harder than is necessary to keep your job.
