What do you like best about the leadership team?
Focused, realistic and rewards performance
They pivot quickly and listen well to what changes need to be done.
They dont micromanage and actually help.
All lead by example and typically have moved up in the company from the bottom
Occasionally help where help is neede
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Leadership needs to work on holding all team members accountable for expectations. Leadership needs to keep other employee performance confidential. Leadership makes an exception for one and denigrate another.
Stop over working everyone! They act like the company is broke and it's the furthest thing from broke! Appreciate those who got you where you are instead of forcing them to "retire".
Everything. Managers keep a flask in the office and drink.
Too many things to list
Not threatning to withhold company gift cards for not going to Store Celebration. Feels really cruddy to do.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Vacation hours/flex hours and insurance
Unbelievable health insurance at a super low cost. PTO is pretty standard for the market, but you can actually take the time off when you want. No one is guilting you for taking time off and they respect your time away.
Fair and flexible no matter your age or position
The profit sharing is really generous
Profit sharing at the end of the year is 8-10% on top of the 4 percent match. Also free health insurance.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Allow part time employees 3 vacation days per year
Sales service drivers are not only drivers. They also do the physical labor of unloading a route in a safe and timely manner as well as being customer service proffesionals. In most cases customers only know gfs through the eyes of thier driver. This is why pay is subpar by far. 75k not acceptable
Review from Operations Dept
Compensation is subpar for the amount of driving, physical labor, and customer service drivers perform on a given route. After all drivers are also in most cases the face of gfs in the customers eyes.
If women were treated fairly. If there was a comparison of where women and men started out 20-30 years ago and where the pay and position in the company is today, it'd be drastically different with all men way ahead of women. It's a long joke, boys only club!
Once you are hired, there is little room for raises. Get as much as you can when they hire you.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Most of them work hard despite getting minimal hours and ok pay, or having to clean up there boss's messes.
The camaraderie and focus on productivity. There’s very little patience for time waster
They are creative, work hard and are fun to be around
Everyone helps everyone when needed
There are a select few that are always willing to help if you have questions.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Stop drinking on the clock
They were good except for attendance.
I left because of the toxic environment. The continued mocking and bringing me down was demoralizing. I also was not given opportunities to take leadership classes after multiple years of asking

Terrible management in Medina ohio

Managers and favoritism equal treatment
There needs to be more relationship cultivated between management and employees

The breakfast we had at the last interview.

Honest and straight-forward, prompt offer made

The industry is full of good people
Completing an awesome project well
They give back to the communities and are very environmentally friendly.
Making my customers happy. Helping them with any questions or concerns they have. Maintaining excellent customer service. (The culture of GFS appears to favor getting New Business over their current customer satisfaction).
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I don't work there anymore and I'm getting prank calls.
Store Managment is stuck in past of "the old way" and refuses to modernize the store and functions.
Customers are constandly treated with disrespect from managment
The company is stuck in the past. Things are changing and employees expectations are changing. Time for GFS to wake up
Executive team need to investigate san antonio managers
