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

Autonomy Remote work opportunities Decent Pay - only if you negotiate it

Cons

Zero training Poor leadership Lack of recognition Constant focus on “closing gaps” - you’ll spend all your time talking about less than 2% of revenue/profit Inconsistent bonus payouts with no metrics to understand how they arrive at a figure No clarity on how to achieve pay increases. Constant responsibilities added to your role that were not previously part of the role you were hired for.
