Pros

Georgia Pacific is a well established company and would look great on a resume. The company is filled with ethical, hardworking employees that work well together and do their utmost to achieve all of the goals and expectations placed upon them.

Cons

It is as if employees are set up for failure. They are over-loaded with tasks, assignments and job duties. While they do not have any chance of attaining all of the expectations placed upon them, they go above and beyond to attempt to complete them all in a conscientious and diligent manner. For their hardwork and outstanding efforts, they are rewarded with disappointment for not achieving all of the unattainable list of expectations, little or no pay increases, additional duties, etc.

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.
