      I have been working at Georgia-Pacific

      Pros

      Personal Development, and career opportunities. The company has gone a series of new owners over the past fifteen years with a continuous strive to improvement and energy and resource reduction, this has left the company with a reduced but highly prouctive asset base, with a competitive marketing strategy, Continued focus on product quality and the correct product portfolio, will see G.P. emerging from the present economic downturn with sustainable competitive advantage.

      Cons

      High expectations and over committment. A high focus on improving safety performance that is yielding a poor crop.

      Advice to Management
