New Owners, Same Incompetent Managers

Pros

Most of the hourly workers have been here for several years, and for the most part, are great people. A lot of mill improvements have been made.

Cons

Forced overtime is the rule, 6 to 7 day weeks, and up to 12 hours a day, so it's hard to have a personal life. Management is inept at best.

Inconsistent with employees/lack of trust

Pros

Great benefits and good mill management. Felt that mill manager genuinely cared about employees’ well being and reinforced a positive culture.

Cons

Upper management operates without communicating and training. No way to move up/advance even with great feedback and ability to train others. HR seems to hire based off connections rather than skillset. Company enforced layoffs/mill shut downs of great employees even though it’s a billion dollar company with less than 500 employees. Numbers are unethical. Corporate/hr employees have spotty reputation probably because theres little to no communication when we were once involved and engaged in changes. I would not recommend GC given it operates with no communication or training through change, and corporate is inconsistent with policies and employees, (advancement opportunities, pay increases, and time off all seem to be free-for-all’s depending who the employee is) creates common lack of trust from employees and a toxic work environment.

Pros

Easy entry level hire on.

Cons

Minimal training before expected to be able to handle all job duties alone. No set time off then had to request days off otherwise working 7 days a week up to 12 hours a day for months. Weekend of requests denied. Maintenance put off until breakdowns caused downtime. Safety issues not taken seriously until employees injured.
