      GP is not the employer of choice in the corrugated industry any longer. Miserable morale and leadership.

      Pros

      Stable company. No layoffs in in recent history.

      Cons

      Management hides behind the "MBM Guiding Principles" any time they are forced out of their comfort zone. GP has taken MBM and bastardized it to the point where it is unrecognizable in practice at the plant level. No salary increases or bonuses since Koch bought the company in 2005. Total micromanagement at all levels. If you have ever had an original thought, GP is not the place for you. Middle managers are continually thrown under the bus to avoid calls to the anonymous employee complaint "hotline". Have witnessed long time successful managers careers ruined by false and inflated calls to this hotline.

      An ok place to body build while they pay you, but too many old school managers giving lipservice only to Koch's MBM's

      Upper production and all maintenance at manager whims

      Pros

      Good hard work can build up your bodies; Paid during 30 min. lunch breaks; Lot of money being poured into rebuilding old parts of the plant might equal job security; Two weeks vacation advanced to new employees during first year if 6 months or more left in year; Partially paid insurance plans; sick pay maybe available; Able to internally bid on openings once or twice a year if meet stringent qualifications and can be released from old position. top craft pay would be working leader in Electrical Maint. at around $22 per hour

      Cons

      Work can be very greasy, dusty, hot sweaty, dangerous -Summer and opposite temps in Winter; Lunch breaks can be shifted or canceled for equipment down times, or if relief doesn't show; Another location with a lot of brand new equipment was suddenly shut down; first 90 days has absolute zero toleration for any lates or absenses or infractions of rules. Your part pay increases on insurance plans and is higher than other similar locations If you bid, and find out the job is not to your liking, barred from bidding for long time; Top craft in other industries of similar skills is possibly $15 higher
