      Pros

      If you have good team leaders and managers then the job will be more pleasant to do

      Cons

      If you get stuck with bad team leaders and managers they can screw you over causing the job to be even more difficult
      Had a completely useless store manager who didn't know anything

      Advice to Management

      Pay better attention to who is hired as team leaders and managers
      One team leader doesn't do any work and creates messes then forces a sales associate to clean it up

      I worked at Gordon Food Service full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Really enjoyed the team i worked on. Manager was super helpful and an overall great guy

      Cons

      Pay was too far below industry standard to make staying feasible.

      Advice to Management

      I really enjoyed the people i worked with which was the reason I stayed as long as I did. However when I, or i'm sure most of your employees, can get nearly double working at other firms I cant justify staying.

      Look into what area employers are paying their developers and try to put yourself in the ballpark.

      Great job in keeping a fun and productive work environment
