Poor choice of employer. Lots of opportunity for employee abuse. - Brand Manager Georgia-Pacific Employee Review

Pros

Large corporation, name recognition within the Southeast.

Cons

The company is owned by a mega-billionaire whose father was a founding member of the John Birch society. That should tell you everything you need to know about the corporate culture being brought into GP since the takeover. When I was hired, lots of promises were made about "big bonuses". After I was hired, I was told I wouldn't be eligible for a bonus for at least 3 more years. And this happened to everyone else hired in my department during the same time.

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
