Gordon Food Service Employee Reviews about "profit sharing"

Pros

-The culture, peers and leadership truly care about everyone at the company -The sense of ownership folks take in their work is unmatched -Best benefits I have seen or heard of (bonus and profit sharing) -GFS is investing in technology more than they ever have in the past. The opportunities to work on cutting edge projects are abundant and will only increase in the next few years. -I truly believe GFS will be a technology leader in the industry and the region in the next 5 years. -Flexible hours, WFH opportunities

Cons

-I tried really hard to come up with something but couldn't. GFS is a great place to work on exciting technology with fantastic people!

Pros

401k and profit sharing and the team I worked with

Cons

-The “leaders “ who don’t lead, they manage -The incentive was cut more than 50%, at one point I was bringing over $1,000 take home in a month, in my last three months with the company my incentive checks were under $400. We were told that the job had changed not the incentive. Every level of management lied to us consistently and did not practice servant leadership like they preached it. -In my last year and half here, I dreaded coming to work Because of all of the changes, pulling up to the building brought an overwhelming feeling of depression knowing what the day had in store because it was the same as the day before, whereas when I first started with the company I loved my job, I loved coming to work and the people I worked with.

Pros

Incentive check, profit sharing

Cons

Management, racism, sexism, and poor moral

Pros

Family/independently owned, notable rewards for performance (trips, gifts, spiffs, bonuses and profit sharing), 401K match.

Cons

Little diversity, especially in sales force. Leaders in this market still struggle with innovation and resort to operating "the way it's always been done."

Pros

Pay, Benefits, and Profit Sharing

Cons

Job itself. HARD labor. Expect to wear your body out.

Pros

* Once upon a time, this was a fun place to work * Many of the remaining people are great to work with * Bonus and profit sharing

Cons

* They feel entitled to your personal time. Nights and weekend work are expected and a way of life * No integrity whatsoever. Senior management routinely lies or puts "spin" on communications. When people point it out, they are punished immediately. For example, there was a promise of no lay-offs for our ERP switch over but people are quietly being laid off and threatened with no severance if they tell anybody * Weak leadership. The ship's direction changes every 10 minutes with no strategy or planning. We hear grand statements on what we will accomplish but none of it ever comes to fruition. Our direction is basically determined by whatever conference leadership just came back from or our biggest competitor (Sysco) * Raises are <= 2% every year unless you complain. If you complain often, you may get 5-6% but it comes from the pocket of your co-workers * At the end of every year there is a panic to cut costs. It almost always comes at the worker's expense. It's always a hiring freeze for poorly resourced teams, cutting of benefits, small raises, etc. * If you aren't Christian and Right leaning, you're better off keeping your mouth shut. I've never seen anybody denied advancement directly because of it but there is a mentality that everybody thinks the same and there is a sense of confidence because of it. For example, one of the Gordons was openly talking about their efforts to stop gay marriage in the common area.
