      Pros

      Pay is pretty good for the area.

      Cons

      Management is horrible, no human resources available for personnel issues, so there is no accountability on the corporation part. Lots of favoritism and individual targeting that goes on. Overall not a good culture to work in, with corporate Greif caring only about its image in Delaware and not the treatment of its employees or its reputation as an employer in the immediate area.

      Old School Industrial Packaging Company with Great Leaders

      Pros

      Great leadership. The people I worked with there were fantastic, and I learned a lot. I respect the leadership. However, it's a very prototypical capitalistic company. This is a "pro" because you at least know where you stand and where the company values lie. The mission is clear to everyone. It's all about earning money for the shareholders. Depending on your perspective, I can see where this could be a "con" as well. If you are a white-collar worker, you get paid fairly, and the work is reasonable. I didn't see many people working more than 40 hours per week. Very little politics.

      Cons

      Blue-collar work at Greif is hard, dirty, and pays poorly. I lay some of this on the unions that I witnessed putting their constituency into positions that made it impossible for the company to be supportive as opposed to a relationship of conflict. But at the same time, it's hard to see the exec team and senior leaders make so much money compared to the plant workers' work environment and hourly wage.
