      Good for early career development

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is a lot of work and room for process improvement which is great for an ambitious employee. Good benefits. Better than average. Company has good overall morale and hardworking employees at the plant level. Size of company allows for advancement opportunities. Truly exceptional employees are rewarded handsomely.

      Cons

      Lacks core mid-level career development. MBM pay structure allows for big promises and little results. Not a completely union environment so plant level employees really don't have a voice that can be heard by top level management. GP has a very old work culture, diversity hasn't made its way up to the top. Pay is average.

      Abusive Management

      Salaried
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Hourly employees are easy to work with, conscientious, and very safety aware. Peer relationships are positive. High turnover provides excellent opportunity for recent college graduates to gain experience.

      Cons

      Senior leadership is generally abusive to "hands on" salaried employees. Communication is top down only - providing feedback that is perceived to be negative will be a career limiting action. Salaried personnel with key technical knowledge will be on constant call - as knowledgeable hourly employees have a contractual right to turn down call-outs. Salaried employees generally 5 to 10 years between compensation increases, resulting in very high turnover. If you are considering this company as an employer, take that into account and come in with an exit strategy.
