Georgia-Pacific Employer Reviews

Can be busy and non-stop when equipment is having trouble but most often operations are smooth and it is a case of monitoring the process and cleaning your areas.co-workers including management are friendly to work with and it is a team effort atmosphere in each department.

I was trusted to decide the job that was going to be done for the day,
unless work orders were issued for certain times or day. I was able to coordinate the assigned duties across the department levels with the assigned individuals and found that we all were working for the same goal of providing the best effort no matter how difficult the task.
I enjoyed – more... the responsibility management gave me to prove my abilities to learn different job duties. – less

This is a great place to work. Team working, safety minded, great benifits. Rotation 12 hour shift work.

I liked working here but was used to more structure when it came to the facility. Granting of new jobs was a long, process.

This was a great place to work very friendly people.
Day's start at 7:00am - 4:00pm. The managment was
very nice they would talk to you like a friend would. If they were
still here in Greensboro that's where i would be.

Georgia pacific is a wonderful place to work if you are good at working a frenetic pace in extremely high temperatures. The co-workers at GP are typically all for themselves and there's no real culture. You come in, learn your job and work it to the best of your ability. There's no real personality or fun to the job, just a lot of hard work and a lot – more... of money to be made. – less

Kept up with production while unloading railcars and semitrailers of paper products.

Working environment created by VP's instills in hourly people at facilities up to regional management a feeling of fear of losing their job on day to day basis. Management too oftens believes terminating people is a solution to a problem. Not a good working environment.

There was always something intersting going on. A very new challenge every single day. It was hard at first because a lot of my co workers needed alot of help getting started n the new programs that were being started but they got it. My bosses were some of the best people that I have worked with. They always took the time to listen to corcerns and – more... they always tried to help, I learned alot from them about how our hourly employees should be taken care of. – less

Envioroment was costantly changing. GP provided exception training programs.There was very little upward movement for the employees. All rasies and bonuses were taken away.

The every day job of supervising in a manufacturing environment was enjoyable and challenging. I liked an ever changing day that was filled with not knowing what the day had to offer.

the only lasted about 3 months. They closed the plant after I left. 12hrs days.

I entered and researched information for contracts with end users; I talked on the phone a lot with sales representatives and vendors for Georgia Pacific. I handled promotions, credits to vendors and deduction issues with the vendors, also.

Georgia Pacific was a great place to learn and apply world-class business intelligence systems and best practices. Management encouraged calculated risk-taking, entrepreneurship, and consultative selling with its large retailers. Compensation and benefits were competitive. Since Koch Industries' acquisition of Georgia-Pacific, bonuses and pay raises – more... were eliminated for most associates. Employee turnover has been above industry average in recent years. – less

The company has a very strong name in the paper and chemical industry. There is no divide between different levels of employment

A typical day at work basic consist of doing your job to the best of your ability and always focus on safety.I learn the importance of working as a team and the importance of getting alone with your co-workers.The hardest part of the job is when the next person is not interest, the most enjoyable part of the job is when you have done an excellant job – more... and you are reward with dinner. – less

Professional environment. Newest WMS computer system. Cleanest warehouse I have ever worked at. Flew me to seminars to update training. Good compensation. I'd still be working there if they didn't have to eliminate my wraehouse.
