Pros

The Atlanta office is nice, and located close to a variety of lunch time options. They are renovating several floor with open concept business cubicles that allow increased communication.

Cons

Any learning required to complete the job is up to you. Very limited help, or assistance to learn the complete function of your job. No mentors and no guidance. MBM culture at Georgia Pacific is having difficulty being fully incorporated. Middle management is slow to switch to the new philosophy, preferring the good old boy, command and control legacy. They talk the MBM talk but they cannot walk the MBM walk! Mobility within the company is difficult at best. Once you are in a position, you are there to stay. Compensation beyond your initial salary is rare. The Corporate building has a covered parking deck that employees have to pay to park in and the corporate office has a gym that employees must pay to go too.

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.
