Pros

Georgia-Pacific has many divisions in the Atlanta, GA headquarters which offers career advancement opportunities with a variety of job functions. The Koch philosophy of conducting business is excellent and provides an expeditious means of making business decisions. Reasonably good working environment; pay is adequate;

Cons

Since G-P went private after the Koch acquisition, the company has gone through many cost saving initiatives at the HQ in Atlanta. There have been many waves of layoffs; bonus plans discontinued; pension plans cut. Employees with seniority particularly at risk because of higher salaries and pension plan benefits. Bonus plans based on profit improvement appear to be difficult to obtain, I don't know anyone who has earned one. Although 40 hours is the official salaried work week, there is an unwritten expectation that overtime is expected.

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
