The company truly cares about employee experience and wants everyone to succeed and grow. The other employees I work with are incredibly smart and helpful. My supervisor has got to be one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I remember being interviewed by the department Controller and couldn’t get over how friendly and kind she was. This gave me a great first impression of the company. Makes coming to work (virtually) much more enjoyable. The work is challenging. I’ve been here less than a year and feel I’ve learned and grew professionally more than my other few years of experience combined. Great company overall.
Cons
I may not know the market well enough, but I feel like pay seems a bit below average. It’s not terrible, but I feel other companies would offer more for the same experience.

Hi! This is Liz from Talent Solutions.
I am happy to read that your experience with Georgia-Pacific thus far, has been both challenging and fulfilling. What a great team to be a part of! Thank you for your review.
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.
