VP's on up, spend so much time getting everyone's input. It takes years to launch. The project was good from the start. - Director, Marketing Georgia-Pacific Employee Review

Pros

Decent pay and average full compensation with EOY bonus. The bonus is almost always the same, and is based on the previous year's bonus... not how much value someone has. I hope someone gives this to Charles Koch, who I would think would be appalled by that methodology. It's counter to what he preaches and teaches.

Cons

The leader of almost every single business unit got their with connections or they looked the part. Almost every one of them was well over 6'2".

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
