Pros
- You will feel in charge and important due to the amount of workload you'll be given. - No real experience needed to get the job. Most of the employees began their logistics career here and have never seen what other companies are like.
Cons
- Poor management and interpersonal skills are prevalent from the top to the bottom. - Very archaic way of thinking that does not work in today's business culture. - Office is old, dimly lit, and generally dismal. Yet recently they installed a brand new huge light up sign. This helps outline the mentality. Overall an unpleasant work environment. - Executives sit "down the hall" which denotes the mentality of Lords over their servants which is very similar to how the business is run. - Poor leadership and efficiency leads to greatly over worked employees where tasks are made to take much longer than necessary. - Low pay (have heard this may be, or has, improved) - As a previous review mentioned, despite multiple rounds of layoffs and et cetera, owner seems to always find a way to line his own pockets. Many long term employees have stayed for extended amounts of time being kept there by a carrot that they'll never be able to reach. For example: the one employee had been there 10 years prior to finally getting a promotion. If they weren't good enough to be promoted, they shouldn't have been in the position. If they were qualified, they should have been promoted. - At the end of the day Gateway operates to make as much money as possibly for the upper crust, while burning out the employees. There was a consistent employee turn around my entire length of employment, which was about 3 years. Easily went through 20+ people every single year, sometimes more. This is with a total employee count of around 50-60 at any given time. - "HR department" is inaffective.
