Pros

Georgia Pacific is a company that values it's employees. There are plenty of career opportunities at Georgia Pacific, as well as room for growth within the different areas of Georgia Pacific.

Cons

Like most companies, there were some challenges with Management. For example, allowing specific individuals to get away with things that were obviously inappropriate at work.

Pros

Base salaries are still competitive, but annual increases are very restricted and often not given at all. A lot of opportunities for personal growth in a large diverse company with a variety of products and processes.

Cons

Since Koch purchase of the company in 2005, performance bonuses have been significantly reduced or eliminated for all but the very top layers. A cult atmosphere prevails now - to the extent that the company attempts to define morality and enforce their version of it through a collection of rules masquerading as 'guiding principles.' It's pretty creepy.
