Pros

the shifts four on four off

Cons

pay roll errors. bullying and they pick and choose who can abide by safety rules. Management lies to your face,less pay more expectations to job requirements than those been there 30 years for the new hires.They choose who gets trained on Adaptive work system rotates you to learn more equipment then takes AWAY your bid job pay for the duration it takes you to learn the new job!! How can you make a living with demoted pay anytime they choose. keeps the $$ in their pocket rather than let us advance and feel worthy. They keep the worst employees and harass the good ones to walk out or give occurrences to the good employees. 5 an you got 2 days without pay. 8 fired. no sick days .snakey to work for.As a senior employee I cringe with the seeing the new people treated this way

Hello- this is Molly from GP. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. I am concerned to hear that you feel safety and training is not consistent for everyone. I would encourage you to reach out to your local HR Manager or if you would prefer to remain anonymous, please use our employee Guideline (https://www.reportlineweb.com/Welcome.aspx?Client=georgiapacific). I will be sharing this with our leadership team as well. Thank you.

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.
