Greif reviews

Being in production, at a 24 hour paper mill, you aren’t a person anymore. You’re just another cog in the machine. The demands keep growing, while the pay stays the same. They also don’t pay based on aptitude and dedication. Everyone with the same job title has the same base pay, and only your hourly cost of living/shift differential pay rates are different. However, these amounts are based on length of employment, as opposed to how skilled and self motivated you are. Which you have to be self motivated, as training is done by word of mouth. Everyone runs the machines slightly different, and you’re taught your next position by someone who is currently working in that position. No training manuals or reference material for how to set up and run the machines. No reference material for trouble shooting problems with the machines or paper defects.

Upper echelons of Greif are really disjointed, leadership is poor, the company makes no capital improvements or reinvestment back into upgrading equipment, budgets are often cut to meet short term goals. Greif promotes who they like, not who is best suited for the job.
