Horrible Bosses

Pros

Easy 8-4:30 schedule. Paid on time. Easy work. Too easy.

Cons

Horrible bosses, horrible upper management, horrible pay, super boring work, no advancement opportunities, dishonest practices, my actually pay by the years' end was $10,000 less than my offer letter (and no I wasn't lazy). No real feedback or encouragement on your work performance, can't trust anyone at the company. Too much gossip also.

Pros

The best reasons for working at GFS Chemicals are the co-workers, the profit-sharing, the no weekends, the employee engagement team, the HR girls, and Harry.

Cons

The downside to working at GFS is the owner. He doesn’t care about his employees or the company. You can work for the company for 25 years and he will kick you to the curb without batting an eye. No loyalty from him.

Pros

It is a paycheck if last resort.

Cons

- Horrible benefits (high premium with high deductible). - Always has "record-breaking" months but yet get no more than 2% yearly raises and 7% profit sharing into 401k (before I started it was up at 12% and each year has gone down to what it is now). - They always lie to their customers. - Sales people will always say yes to customer without checking production schedule for current processes. Don't give operations enough lead time to get product out the door. Always causing late orders, but always "record-breaking" months somehow. - Management will try to pay you the lowest amount they can while expecting you to do multiple job responsibilities outside your scope. All while promises to give you a raise, again 2% (not worth breaking your back to get). - They have some safety procedures in place such as fall restraints that are horribly placed. If you do fall you'll end up being strangled. Their spill kits are all expired and deteriorated. - Plus so many brown nosers that will rat others out to take the heat off of themselves or just to get ahead. - All their equipment is outdated and inefficient. Again "record-breaking" months but never update their equipment. They have sank Millions into a new process for cooking acid which is still not even running consistently (6 months after estimated completion). - Also if a position opens up that you want to move into, they won't give you a chance for it. They won't want to "lose your experience" in the position you're at now. Even if you're qualified for said position. I could keep going but don't want to waste your day as well as mine typing everything out. I provided a small example of the reasons to avoid this company. Please do avoid it. They are a skeleton crew making "record breaking" months and yet never want to take care of their employees.
