Pros

There are a lot of great people who work for the company. Many of them have worked for the company for decades, and have a lot of great knowledge and experience. They truly want to do the right thing and work towards making the company better, but senior management routinely gets in the way. Ability to maintain a good work life balance was good.

Cons

I have never heard so many complaints about compensation as I have while working for Georgia Pacific. Many hard working people who are truly adding value to the organization go years without a raise. For those who are able to garner a raise, it takes months and months with many challenges to get approvals. Bonuses are very hard to come by. (I have not seen one in years.) Medical benefits are meager. The implementation of the MBM tenets is sadly derailed. The talk and the actions are regularly completely opposite of each other. I would not be surprised if they see an exodus of employees as the economy improves. Also be prepared to be routinely bombarded with the Koch libertarian political perspective.
