Pros
The people on the floor are the reason why I stayed there for as long as I did.
Cons
Open app Your location Georgia-Pacific Corporation 149 Hamilton St, Leominster, MA 01453 Manufacturer JG 144 points a week agoUsed to be a great company where you were valued. The culture has changed. You're treated like a pawn more often than like a person. Management meetings are mostly just a fun time to get together and eat donuts, not to come up with solutions for machines/automatin constantly being down. The operations manager fratenizes with male employees, mostly maintenance and/ or process leads. She uses promiscuous antics to get her way. All the while, other management turns a blind eye to it. Corporate needs to investigate and do something about her. Process manager can't keep the quality of the product consistent, causing constant unnecessary extra work for operators and packers. Both will talk down and belittle production employees, and the plant manager Kristen Moll does nothing about these two managers ( theres been no bonus pay since she took over the plant 3 years ago, says alot about her capabilities of how to run a productive manufacturing plant.)There's no documentation for any kind of troubleshooting for both operators or process leaders. No skills training. No route cause analysis (rca) training. PMs are pushed back due to poor production. Hand-off meetings are a vicious circle of the same repetitive issues, day in and day out. There's no documentation of any kind for correctitive actions or preventative procedures for both operations and maintenance. Theres no escalation procedures in place to get issues addressed with quality or faulty/down machines. The equipment is run until failure. Then, the failure is addressed with a temporary fix. Management pushes the "fix it" responsibilities onto employees with no type of guidance or direction from upper management. Ultimately leading to employees feeling like their only option is to leave the company. Management rewrites rules and "policies " to accommodate for their mistakes, trying to right their wrongs. To make the failures fall on production employees. It is very unprofessional and an uncomfortable environment to work in. It's a circus. STAY AWAY FOR YOUR OWN SAKE!!! Scrap is swept off the floor and ground up and put back into the material to make more cutlery. If you like eating off of the floor or eating with non food grade products, then by all means, buy their product, and this is the place to work. But if you're a normal person then don't have anything to do with this company.
