GVW Group Reviews

Pros

There is a lot of opportunity to make a difference here

Cons

Self starters thrive here. Join if you want a challenging and meaningful experience

Pros

The people are nice and you get cheap health insurance. They also throw pizza parties occasionally, pre-COVID. Those are the only pros that come to mind.

Cons

I come to you not as an employee reviewing their place of work, but as a whistleblower. If you are looking to work for Autocar Parts or interview here, look elsewhere and save the time. Expend your efforts towards an organization that values your work and treats you as a person. When a company is rotten, it all starts at the top, and unfortunately, that is quite true here. The top is the owner and chairman of the company and he simply does not care about, nor trust his employees. He does not believe in raises. Employees here go years without raises and in this day and age, that is borderline inhumane. He also does not trust his employees to work from home during this current pandemic and wants them in the office as much as possible. He’s just not a good person. One example is that he recently purchased an $11 million penthouse in Miami, all the while bucking on raises and bonuses for the year. To say employees at this company are disgruntled, disillusioned, and unhappy is an understatement. They do not believe in management, don’t trust management, and have very low external efficacy. Simply put, they’ve been burned one too many times by upper management and by the owner of the company. The culture here has deteriorated greatly throughout the years. High turnover, coupled with management playing favorites, has led to employees here feeling unhappy and just going through the motions. You will not enjoy working here. Turnover is rampant here. Over the course of a couple years, over 50% of the company will have new faces. You are considered a veteran if you last over a year and a half. Why is it rampant? Because they pay you below-industry-average wage and never hand out bonuses or raises. They don’t incentivize you to stay long-term. The greatest form of recompense you will receive is a pizza party and a target gift card. Notice how there is an influx of reviews from August 3? That is because HR sent out an email concerning the poor reviews this company has online. They asked employees to make positive mentions to boost up their scores, but everyone sees through this transparent attempt to wipe a stain. A stain that has formed over the years and is well-earned. You will not find a competitive compensation package here, nor opportunities for advancement, nor a cohesive, high-performance culture, nor a caring owner. What you will find is a paycheck every two weeks and enjoyable people to work with. That’s about it.

Pros

Really good people here. Everyone has the opportunity to make significant impact (not too big, still feels like a family co).

Cons

Communications could be better. Not a great place for people who need to be told what to do.

Pros

At GVW you own the outcomes of the business. An excellent opportunity to try new things, innovate and prove your real worth without the politics of a big business, especially if you are the kind who likes to drive. Variety of great opportunities to help the business win present themselves daily.

Cons

Do not expect that your job description is set in stone and you need to be prepared and comfortable taking on challenges outside your JD.

Pros

industry is interesting and some colleagues on the team are friendly

Cons

noone ever meets their expectations, as expectations are never set and demands are constantly increasing. leadership is insecure and provides lack of direction. this is not a place to stay and thrive.
