Pros

some of the people are great, benefits, pay

Cons

a lot of ethical issues, certain people follow their own agenda, and they have become untouchable. it would be a great place to work if it was lead like a real company and not the mom and pop shop in the corner. The only way this will change is to get rid of middle management all together...

Pros

Great people in their plants, safety focused, continuous improvement focused, work life balance is pretty good, a lot of team work in the plants.

Cons

Upper echelons of Greif are really disjointed, leadership is poor, the company makes no capital improvements or reinvestment back into upgrading equipment, budgets are often cut to meet short term goals. Greif promotes who they like, not who is best suited for the job.
