Pros

Good hard work can build up your bodies; Paid during 30 min. lunch breaks; Lot of money being poured into rebuilding old parts of the plant might equal job security; Two weeks vacation advanced to new employees during first year if 6 months or more left in year; Partially paid insurance plans; sick pay maybe available; Able to internally bid on openings once or twice a year if meet stringent qualifications and can be released from old position. top craft pay would be working leader in Electrical Maint. at around $22 per hour

Cons

Work can be very greasy, dusty, hot sweaty, dangerous -Summer and opposite temps in Winter; Lunch breaks can be shifted or canceled for equipment down times, or if relief doesn't show; Another location with a lot of brand new equipment was suddenly shut down; first 90 days has absolute zero toleration for any lates or absenses or infractions of rules. Your part pay increases on insurance plans and is higher than other similar locations If you bid, and find out the job is not to your liking, barred from bidding for long time; Top craft in other industries of similar skills is possibly $15 higher

Pros

Old and stable company that has very little interest in being first to market in any of their product catagories, however they are a recognized market leader.

Cons

The senior management group that I reported into at Georgia Pacific really does not value the knowledge and ideas from their managers that could raise the value proposition for further market growth.
