Pros

Years ago GP was a prestigious company to work for. Employees used to be loyal and give their best because they were respected and treated fairly by most of middle and upper management. Adequate opportunities for advancement, growth and professional development. Employees knew their customers and respective industries.

Cons

Most of the "Pros" above no longer exist. Koch places an inordinately high emphasis on hiring those with advanced degrees with no regard to their personality or ability to connect with customers.....you know those people who buy the billions of dollars of product that GP makes. It has become a place to go and work 5 days a week and collect a check. Long time, loyal and valuable employees let go with no warning or rationale and replaced by a 26 year old with an mba who wants to beef up their resume with some real experience before moving on to another company with better pay and perks. Very dissatisfied work force who would, and will eventually, leave as soon as a comparable position can be found elsewhere. GP has lost much respect as a valued supplier within the industries and markets they pretend to serve.
