Pros

There's a paycheck at the end of every two week stretch you survive. There are good people to share the misery with. MBM is a good looking veneer

Cons

Upper management appears to be paralyzed by either fear or lack of "decision rights". Leadership style has become manage by threat since Koch took over. It's sad to watch. Bonus structure is an arbitrary pipe dream.

GP does not practice what it preaches!

Pros

Solid pay check every two weeks. I was allowed to take my 5 weeks of vacation. I did have decision rights over my direct reports.

Cons

Koch bought GP in the spring of 2006. Immediately we all went through MBM Training . MBM teaches integrity, humility, respect, fulfillment, etc. Senior management does not practice this in my division. Commitment and dedication make no differerence whatsoever. I got a very raw deal in the end. If you are 50+, make a decent salary, and have 15+ years of seniority, you had better be looking for a job. No bonuses since the Koch acquisition. No raises since the Koch acquisition.
