Georgia-Pacific Employer Reviews

12 hour shifts. plc troubleshooting, vfd drives, 3 phase motors, electrical schematics. Understanding supervisors and easy going co-workers. Hardest part is be away from home alot. Enjoyable part is learning new things, payday, getting to leave and spend time with family.

Production 24/7 operation. Worked 7 days every week, 12 hour days. (Continuous production line.) Learned the importance of communication with other departments. Hardest part of job was no quality of life outside of job.(on call 24/7 outside of scheduled shifts)
Most enjoyable part of job was pay rate and benefits.

12 hour rotating shifts. Hourly promotions are based on who you know and your seniority. Co-workers are treated the same as you in an equal position. Great benifits, paid time off, roving holidays, paid vacations that increase over time, 401k, and a pension plan.

I had problems convincing management that I was capable of assuming additional responsibilities despite my many years of employment with them.

Georgia Pacific was a wonderful place to work prior to being bought out by Koch Industries.

12 hour shifts ran robot that stacked cases learned to use computer to program the machine management was ok some wasn't the best my co-workers were really good to work with the hardest part of my job was of course the 12 hour shifts got old and we rotated from days to nights but it had its good parts we got 14 days a month off and some of that was – more...  7 days straight once a month – less

Although the systems, procedure and policies were consistent across this large organization. Environment varied from locaton to location so flexibility was important. In total I logged 17 years with this organization and leaving was a tough decision.

I would work there again if the opportunity presented itself.

Good group of people to work with. Nice work environment. We had a consistent flow of work.

When koch took over the benifits work hours and every thing went
down hill if you find out your company is being bought out!Better
hope its not the koch brothers!!!The people I worked with were
the best people I ever worked with.

Working hard, treated unfairly, someone always trying to be noisy, mining other people business. The supervisor is UN learned , they do not know how to manage a 8 hour shift. They have pick associates that takes long breaks.

Company lied and misled about position and ruined my career and family life. Company knew position would be short term because it
would be moved to corporate office, however did not disclose it to managers when hired.

i work on paper machines... which inclued threading paper, setting dekels, assisting rewinders, cutting cores, printing lables and shipping and wrapping rolls

This job has a very good program for growth and learning.
I say the hardest part about dealing with this company is dealing with the major work loads and the small pay. Management are very good at there job and always read to lend a helping hand.

The most enjoyable part about this job is working with amazing co-workers.

loved the fact tht it was a switch shift job...everyweek i learned something different.Management was very helpful at making me comfortable working there.Most of the time i was packing cups in bags and boxes.It wasnt a hard job and it was fun

They never would listen to ideas nor share. As an analyst I had over 20 years experience compared to my manager with 2 years. He just did what he was told by his boss. Who, by the way, had no IT experience whatsoever. But it was all about how cheap it was. Not how good. It was ALL about profit. Nothing & no one else mattered.

GP is a great place to work, and it will only get better as the economy starts to improve and housing recovers.

I've known 'G.P.' before it was 'G.P.' and before it was what it was before it became 'G.P.'. From what I have observed, it is striving to become more than what it was.

Saftey is the main key to maintain a daily work routine. I checked the product for defects and logged it in the data. Lockout-tagout machine for mainteance.

discusting place to work/swing shift/poor management/closed by EPA owned by KOCH BROS.

Fun loving family atmosphere. Great group of folks to work with.
