Pros

Competitive benefits and nice headquarters facilities in downtown Atlanta that include a cafeteria, gym and daycare.

Cons

Cyclical business and a declining value of long term employees and institutional knowledge diminishes the long term career outlook. Advancement and recognition may be enhanced by limiting time at GP, rotating out and looking for new roles and gaining new experience outside the company rather than growing within the company.

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.
