Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Greif truly offers the organization and benefits of a large corporation, with a local, and family like culture. Most of the employees have been with them 10-25 years. Every single person from the warehouse staff to the VP over North America was welcoming, personal, and professional. Great benefits, competitive pay, and they truly want to mentor, educate, and promote within.
Cons
Only con I can mention is that they have a strict attendance policy, point system (at least in the production/warehouse facilities). Which is a pro for those that adhere by it and want to succeed.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The management are generally pretty understanding. And there's lots of friendly faces
Cons
All the managers here are serverly lacking in something or another. Whether that's in people skills or communications. Common sense or time management skills. It's a mess, and they don't care if they negatively affect their employees, or if the machines are all missing half their parts. Only that orders are filled.

Pros
Great place to work at
Cons
Needs some cleaning improvement improve
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Good pay, amazing benefits, hard to beat the 401K, thats why I'm still here.
Cons
Prepare to work non stop 12 hour days, weekends and alternating shifts. You may work 7am to 7pm one day, and 11pm to 11am the next. Runs round the clock, prepare to forego family time and weekends. Don't bother making plans. And management could care less about getting a fully staffed shift trained properly. They'd rather hire a new guy every 2 months and not train them so that way every is forced to continue working relentless 12 hour days till their deathbed.
