Pros

Georgia-Pacific's biggest asset is it's people. The people are great! Georgia-Pacific is an large company--it's very different from working at a small to medium company. There's more career security at Georgia-Pacific since the company is doing well financially. There is room to grow your career at Georgia-Pacific. It's not automatic and you really have to work for it. It does take a great time of time to get raises and promotions.

Cons

It's a big company--it can be difficult to navigate your way around the politics and the complexity. It takes some time to figure out how the company is organized. We you first get there--you have to be a self-starter to get everything you need to get all the things you need to do your job. Since, G-P is a large company, it's really not very flexible or bleeding-edge innovative. Don't expect to have the latest, greatest computers or computer software.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
