Pros
Great office location, friendly co-workers. Decent benefits. Free coffee. Free parking. Good restaurants nearby. Great stepping stone before moving on to better opportunities.
Cons
Don’t let the marketing hype fool you. GTRI does not have a strong commitment to values; business integrity, strong ethical practices, employee recognition or growth. There are limited training opportunities, no career paths or advancement. There is poor communication between departments and staff. Lay-offs and turnover are common place. About once a year they do a sweep, terminating 10 to 15 management and staff members at a time. They also have a declining sales model. They are struggling to stay current in today’s fast paced technology sector. Often times changing their vision and strategy several times over the course of a year. There have been several failed attempts at creating a better culture and most people would rather quit than show up to work. Sales floor is an empty cubicle farm. Lack of direction and poor leadership results in a high-stress and hostile work environment.
