Good colleagues does not make up for management making disappointing leadership decisions - Sales Manager Georgia-Pacific Employee Review

Pros

Free coffee, good manger, good colleagues

Cons

While the company claims to be principle-based, recent unilateral decisions suggest a shift toward short-sighted cost-cutting over operational efficiency. Removing mobile phones from customer-facing staff—who are expected to be available around the clock—is a prime example of 'saving' pennies while risking thousands in lost productivity and client trust. This 'cheap' approach is compounded by a leadership culture, particularly in the GP Center, that prioritizes managing up over building value. There is a visible trend of supervisors focusing on optics for Executive VPs rather than mastering the business or developing their teams. When you trade essential tools for temporary budget wins and prioritize ego over principles, you create a recipe for mediocrity.

Pros

Great benefits and pay including 401K match. Leadership seems to listen if people speak up. Safety culture is above and beyond any other place I have worked.

Cons

One year will be spend like crazy and the next will be feast or famine. Need to learn these cycles and even out so it's not so cyclical.

Pros

Solid culture. Seems to place emphasis on work life balance. Your challenges to things you disagree with are welcomed provided you do it respectfully. Tends to adhere to principle based management though I'd argue this has become looser as of late (perhaps was just some of my managers). Privately owned and not subject to qualms competition deals with.

Cons

Continuous changes in management/structure which do not bode well for customer relationships or long term value creation. At times it does not seem like they know what they are doing, but I'd also argue if they identify ways to be better, the sudden changes to external partners and internally may work better. Certain managers were great. Certain were horrid. Seems very behind the times/late to the game when it comes to processes
