Pros

I like the people I work with

Cons

Company is not what it used to be under Mark Wetterau. Now with Lindsey Goldberg as the new owners, I feel like I have to walk on egg shells. The gap between the execs and everyone else makes us feel like they are entirely different people. Never thought GSF is just another stepping stone to a better company.no room for growth what do ever unless you know someone or work under the right executive.

Pros

-Job security - The company is financially stable and unlikely to disappear overnight. -Benefits are decent compared to similar manufacturing/distribution companies.

Cons

- Chaotic understaffing in several departments creates constant workload pressure. - Compensation does not keep up with responsibilities - roles quietly and constantly expand without corresponding pay increase - Advancement opportunities are limited - Titles often do not reflect actual work performed, which hurts career growth outside of the company - Communication with upper management and operations is inconsistant - Process improvements are discussed but slow to be implemented - Morale varies heavily depending on department and manager - Diversity is not represented in upper managment. Very limited advancement opportunties for minorities.
