A solid company to work for.

Technical Support (Current Employee)

I have been working at Goss International

ProsThe 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.

ConsThe 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 Managementkeep 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

Used to be a good place to work, but the company has one foot in the grave now

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at Goss International

ProsThe 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.

ConsThe 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.

Relatively Satisfied, decent place to work...

Business Analyst (Current Employee)
Durham, NH

I have been working at Goss International

ProsOther employees are great, the atmosphere in the office is cordial and pretty positive overall.

ConsThe 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 ManagementWork 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.

Would be better if we got paid better wages and had raises that could keep up with the cost of living.

Mechanical Engineer (Current Employee)
Durham, NH

I have been working at Goss International

ProsWorking 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.

ConsWe 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 ManagementTake control and show some backbone.
