horrible since Koch bought us out. Your coach has all power and will target people that they don't like. - Opertator Tech Georgia-Pacific Employee Review

Pros

Its a job. It pays better then most but your going to earn every penny of it.

Cons

They do not promote you on what you know or do, it's all by who likes who. They decide who they are going to advance before they even go thru the applicants and before the interviews start. Coaches will target employees they dont like and know one seems to care.

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.
