Pros

Old and stable company that has very little interest in being first to market in any of their product catagories, however they are a recognized market leader.

Cons

The senior management group that I reported into at Georgia Pacific really does not value the knowledge and ideas from their managers that could raise the value proposition for further market growth.

Pros

Diverse workforce; lack of micro-management; savings on local arts, entertainment, sporting events; opportunities to community service; high profile company

Cons

The buck doesn't seem to stop anywhere - responsibilities fall in too many different silos; systems are not nearly as good as might be expected; compensation (incl raises, bonuses) does not meet expectations for employees at a certain level (I refer to this as the "haves" and "have nots") - too much lip service

Pros

Nice offices. Just about everyone gets a window office. Gym and restaurants onsite Almost complete independence. Very little micromanagement Great healthcare benefits. Good internal processes and accountability for those who dont pull their weight. Professional and respectful culture

Cons

Incentive compensation plan is a phantom program..completely discretionary. Vesting on 401k is 3 years. Politics are definitely a part of the program.
