Pros

- You are compensated based on your individual contribution, not on a salary band. Salaries are based on market but bonuses can be really outstanding. - Good people: you never have to worry about theft of employees and people who work there have a lot of integrity. - In Atlanta, on-site gym and daycare. Both are really well run. - Retirement plan: company match awesome and they put in an extra 3-5% outside of match. - Most groups and supervisors allow you to be pretty autonomous, which is refreshing. As long as you're contributing, adding value and getting your work done, no set hours. (I go to the gym at lunch) - Market-Based Management: It really does make a difference in the decisions we make and how we do business. Guess that's why we're one of the largest private companies in the world.

Cons

- Need to update office furniture. - More telecommuting options/flex schedules (like 9-80) in order to attract/retain top talent.

Pros

Georgia Pacific cups, towels, shirts and free lunch for safety awards

Cons

The management think they know everything, they don't consult with machine operators about changes to products and machines and just make changes, but preach the need for operator ownership. They don't allow creativity from employees, Its either their way or no way. The company does not operate the way C.E.O.Charles Koch Book 'The Science of Success states.
