Pros
Pay rate and benefits are good.
Cons
Management is favoritism to employees and they don't go by the hand book, when placing employee by seniority.
Advice to Management
Needs to step up game, because you will never have good employees with the management you have today, Treat people the way you want to be treated, Don't just throw managers in position that don't have management experience.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Graham Packaging full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Graham has good benefits, and competitive pay
Cons
No work/home life balance. You are just a number and continuous improvement is only on a piece of paper. The company doesn't live its core values. If you want to punch a clock and work like a slave this is your company. The current management has set the company back several years.
Advice to Management
Take some basic communication and team building classes. You forgot what it takes to have a great organization. Get a 360 degree reviews from your plants and see how people really feel about your leadership style. I'm sure you will find out quickly that your plants do not trust or respect you.
