Pros

- Great innovator and very forward thinking in regards to product generation. - Georgia Pacific has a great name that is well known worldwide. - Koch Industries is a powerful backer.

Cons

- Top Leadership (Group President/VP) preaches MBM and it's guiding principles but they don't practice those same principles. - Everyone is stepping on each other because they don't want to be the next 'position elimination' - They say your earnings/total comp is based on marginal contribution but it always ends up being subjective. - No cost of living adjustments. As stated before you are based on your total and marginal contribution and COLA's aren't warranted. - If you don't have the same pedigree (GP/Koch person) you don't have a future at GP. They will extract the information they need from you and then eliminate your position. When my position was eliminated, I wasn't allowed to apply for any other position at GP either...I had over 20 years worth of experience but once you are gone you are gone.

Pros

Schedule, flexibility, pay, co- workers, relationships

Cons

No COLA, annual reviews pushed back, comp reviews consistently pushed back even further. Non value added meetings & ‘fluff’ with Koch book reading requirements (which directly conflict in the respect philosophy when it comes to comp reviews), no consistency in business units- ie. Moving from one to another group a vast difference in how they treat/respect employees
