Pros

They pay well to attract people, but people end up leaving very quickly.

Cons

In my long career, the Georgia-Pacific facility in Cleveland, TN has been the most challenging and disappointing workplace I’ve encountered. I’ve witnessed unethical conversations behind closed doors and a troubling lack of concern for employee safety. There’s a clear culture of silence—if corporate visits, employees are strongly discouraged from speaking up or sharing any concerns. The plant management appears to be more focused on personal advancement than on the well-being of their teams. Leadership seems disconnected and self-serving, creating a toxic and high-stress environment. If you value your mental health, enjoy your current job, or simply want a stable, respectful workplace, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. If you bring up concerns about leadership, they will end up firing you.

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.
