      Great Benefits Package and good people to work with

      Cons

      Behind the times for Diversity and Inclusion. The primarily white male management is still a good ole boys club. They talk the talk but far from walking the walk.

      Thanks for the years of service shared with us -- you likely experienced a lot of growth and change in that period of time! We recognize the value that diversity brings in servicing our customers, and know that an inclusive work environment is critical for each employee to deliver their best. Recent initiatives to formalize more support for D&I are proving successful, with more people in the organization becoming informed and getting involved. Activity like the D&I Trailblazer awards and additional Diversity Action Teams are new to Gordon Food Service and provide even more forums to educate and brainstorm on ways to leverage our differences. Like most companies, we still have opportunities, but we are moving in the right direction.

      I worked at Gordon Food Service full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      GFS offers great benefits, and the weekly pay oppose to bi weekly is great as well. Management is good and try their best to make sure the staff is taken care of, and have the training necessary to preform the job. If you don’t have any stills just the physical ability to preform the job than you’ll be just fine. Most likely going to receive over time. Starting hourly rate is over 17$ which is the highest I’ve found in south Florida without any experience or education needed.

      Cons

      The environment isn’t inspiring. The physical demand is overwhelming and uncomfortable. Warehouse is too small makes preforming the job a bit more difficult. 10-12 hours of lifting cases, bending over and crawling into slots will lead to back/ neck pain. Job takes a huge toll on overall life because you do a 10-12 hour shift and be to tired to do anything during the day.
