What is a typical working day like at Georgia-Pacific?

* My coworkers are great people. * The work is satisfying. * My commute is very short. * The pay is good.

* Management is extremely inept. They just hired two floor supervisors to get us "back in line", even though we aren't the problem - management is. * Micromanagement is a cancer here. * Benefits are sub-standard for such a large company. * Rotating shiftwork. We work the day shift, then midnight shift, then evening shift, and so on. We currently work 8-hour shifts, but we used to work 12-hour shifts on a rotating schedule (7 days of day shift and 7 days of night shift each month), and we would get 7 days off at the end of each rotation. Now, we only get our weekends off, but didn't get an increase in the number of vacation days we are allotted (well, the union president managed to negotiate an extra week of vacay for the senior workers but us junior workers remain at two weeks a year). So much for union support. BOHICA.

12 hr rotating shifts make for a great home life

The ac is never working right so it can get hot at times

Mostly good people, good pay, easy work

Inept management, many lazy workers, rotating shift work, hot environment

Rapid advancement Good pay for the area

NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. Expected to work several hours over your scheduled shift, work extra days, including 7straight for weeks at a time (minimum of 12 hours) due to understaffing. Expected to put the company above all other commitments (family, plans, appointments, etc) all while working a rotating shift. Senior operators do actually only work 14 days a month, everyone else can be expected to potentially work 60, 72, or 84 hours based on their needs.

Pay and benefits are good

The 12 hr rotating shifts are a lot.

7 days off straight was good

Rotating shift was very difficult

Can move up with hard work and learning the job.

Rotating 12hr shift work with weekends

good benefits, decent pay depending on which department you work in

12 hour swing shift schedule

Good pay and job security

Shift work, 12 hour nights and days

Decent pay. Good people. I learned about safety there.

Very stressful, the rotating shifts are difficult. A lot of things can go wrong, many details to keep up with at the same time. multi task is a must. very hard on the body, it will wear you down. would not plan to retire from there.
