Pros

Georgia Pacific cups, towels, shirts and free lunch for safety awards

Cons

The management think they know everything, they don't consult with machine operators about changes to products and machines and just make changes, but preach the need for operator ownership. They don't allow creativity from employees, Its either their way or no way. The company does not operate the way C.E.O.Charles Koch Book 'The Science of Success states.

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.
