Georgia-Pacific Employer Reviews

- General mill cleanup
- Mill Blowdown
- Cleaning of mill blenders
- Millwright helper

uncomfortable atmosphere, machines always failing, probably do to band-aid fixing problems. I learned to get the problem fixed before it crashes and causes further damage. Management overcrowds the operators area with multiple suggestions from multiple boss's making it difficult for the operator to take entrepreneurship of their machine. co-workers – more... work good together, good communication makes good teamwork.hardest part of the day is for myself or a co-worker not to make it home the same way they came in. Never had that day never want it. Most enjoyable part of the day is staying safe keeping my co- workers safe. Creating value meeting and or exceeding goals and expectations. – less

I would decribe my typical day at work as enjoyable. I have learned so many things when I was working for Georgia Pacific. I worked a variety a machines and held a lot of resposiblities. I worked with great people and that always makes your day that much better.The most enjoyable part my seven years of working there is giving me the opportunity to learn – more... and voice my thoughts on how to keep days as productive as I could. – less

Worked at the fiber board plant in Holly Hill, got laid off and they sold to another company.

Georgia Pacific is a good company when looking for employment. It is very hard work and demanding of time and effort. If you are looking for a lot of hours and a decent pay check then you are looking at the right company. There is a lot of overtime.

The experience at Georgia - Pacific has really been an exciting and fulfilling time. I was able to learn a lot from some very knowledgeable co-workers and learn even more about how a business is run and managed through their online learning system. While everyday had its new challenges and experiences the overall experience has made me more able to – more... advance my career to the next level – less

if you have a family, kiss them good-bye!!! this job is very demanding of your time. no concern for worker's safety. can't take DAYS OFF, FORCE to call in sick. FORCE to use whole week instead of taking days off here and there. I wouldn't recommend this job at all!!! worst company to work for!!!

Lots of good people here to work for and with. They DO IT SAFE OR YOU DONT DO IT.

Clean safe workplace professional management. Enjoy working with the staff, long hours required

I worked the relief shift for 26 years, before taking a day shift job. I learned to work with other co-workers and was a team leader on the safety team. My job required me to work with both hands. I used a glue gun with my left hand and a routing saw with my right hand. The job require good coordination and fast things. My job was easy, but, you had – more... to be able to deal with hot and cold weather. The most enjoyable part of my job was knowing that I put out a good product. – less

Submitting contracts for services, sending out repairs and updating purchase orders for all stock items for the Port Hudson Mill.

Lack of professionalism. Stressfull at times. Big turn-overs in management

Overall good place, however they require a lot of additional involvement with committies and training outside of your scheduled 12 hour shift.

Company has pros an cons. Expect to put in a 55+ hour work week for advancement, even is this means merely standing around and showing your face.

Culture is relatively laid back. People are easy to work with and Willing to work hard when necessary.

Work 12 hours in a saw mill, extremly loud work area. Dangerous from work around saws

First real job out of college. Prove yourself and advancement opportunities are there for you!!

Forced to work mandatory overtime. 12 to 15 hours per day. 7 days a week. No time off for any reason at all. Not even funerals.
I will never work for this company again.
Totally and completly ignorant of basic human decency.
Hard working and as disatisfied as I was.
The time demanded of me.
Going home for a few hours rest.

Georgia Pacific being the largest provider of wood and wood products i.e. cardboard paper lumber plywood etc. instiiled a sense of job security. The Camden Tx. mill has a stellar safety program that I was highly involved in. My supervisors and I got along very well and I couldn't ask for a better group of co workers. I had great repore with the Truck – more... vendors and really enjoyed my time working for them. My day consisted of loading flat bed trucks, A frame rail cars using a 8,000lbs capacity forklift as well as using a man lift to secure the loads on the rail cars by hanging cables and tightening them down using rachets and breaker bars. On occasion, I was responsible for preparing bills and readying loads to be picked up by vendors using the computer. We prided our selves by having great house keeping and I was responsible for running the sweeper within the warehouse when needed as well as every Friday evening. When I think about the hardest part of my job the only thing I can come up with is the personality diffrences in truck vendors some of which may have never been to our mill and they weren't accustomed to our safety regulations and would be some what resistive about all the safety procedures in place to ensure their safety as well as ours. I really enjoyed working for them but was ready to start a new chapter in my life. – less
