RecommendsI worked at Gordon Food Service part-time for more than a year
Pros
The coworkers were always friendly and fun to be around. I also found the schedule to be flexible for my needs.
Cons
The turnover rate was pretty high so you had to learn to work with new people regularly.
Gordon Food Service2020-03-05Thanks for your review! Many of our employees find that our part time availability is perfect to fit their schedule while going to school, working another job, or any other reason they need part time. As a result of the part time nature, people tend to start and stop working with us frequently. It sounds like you had a great experience while you were with us, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Pros
Pay is very good you will get paid on how hard you work. Hours vary depending on how fast you work but overall you get to spend a lot of time with your family working here. Keeps you in shape if you don’t want to just sit in a truck and just drive you are always moving. These are some of the best managers I have ever had they will take care of you and try to work with you. If you don’t like working hard physically this is not the job for you but If you do come right in!
Cons
Training is not the best Time off is good once you get a lot of seniority you accumulate vacation every quarter which sucks and you are not always guaranteed to get the day you request off due to customer demand they recommend you to put in you vacation time in the beginning of the year so you can get dibs. You deliver to some unsafe places at times.

Thank you for sharing your experience with your team. Without understanding the details, it's hard for us to look into this specific situation. While we won't pretend every team is perfect, we are encouraged by the recent employee engagement survey which showed 81% of our people said they felt their managers treated them fairly and they felt valued by their leaders. We know there are opportunities and we'll continue to do our best to create an environment if fairness and inclusion. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts with us.

Pros
You get a 10% discount
Cons
Upper management were sexist pigs who discriminated and harassed anyone they did not want “on their team” multiple woman made serval complaints against a store manager and district manager. The complaint was mismanaged, they allowed both managers in on the investigation and nothing was ever done, even though there were witnesses and recorded evidence. Four people quit the company while the two managers who were causing the problems kept their jobs.
