I have been working at Goss International
Pros – The pay is decent for a company that is so close to home. To find something with more pay you have to travel a lot further.
Cons – The benefits are not great and they seem to get worse every year,Pay raises seem to happen about once every 5 years, a lot of polotics,micromanaging,typical big company antics, popularity gets you ahead.
Advice to Senior Management – keep it simple, incentive programs, work on finding better benefits, I know we are at a day and age where we have healthcare issues and prices are astronomical but, there has to be something out there. As a company we waste so much money, lets try to capture that money and get a better benefits package.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Pros – The people who work for Goss are mostly highly experienced and very professional. I learned quite a few valuable skills that transfer readily to other industries.
Cons – The company has been shrinking/cutting back for several years in a row, given the state of printed media there isn't in my opinion a favorable end in sight. I would recommend this company for short term employment prospects only.
Advice to Senior Management – Update your resumes.

Pros – Other employees are great, the atmosphere in the office is cordial and pretty positive overall.
Cons – The industry is aging, and frankly a lot of the people there are older and stuck in their ways. As a young person, it's hard for my 'new' ideas to be taken seriously.
Advice to Senior Management – Work on communication with the company. The CEO & CFO were just replaced and practically nothing has come out of senior management as far as information, or additional changes that may take place going into 2009.

Pros – Working at Goss seems like a stable job at least. We have a lot of contract workers and I feel that my job won't really be at risk until they are let go, so I never feel like I'm at risk of losing my job. People are nice, work can be challenging.
Cons – We are below average in what technical jobs like ours should pay. The merit increases in income can't even keep pace with cost of living increase and each year we're working backwards. Budget cuts keep us from getting simple things that would help general morale.
Advice to Senior Management – Take control and show some backbone.
