Pros

Overall a family and friendly culture. Environment is more down to earth and humble than the conservative attire would make you think. Very cool that they give you tours of their plants and sites so you really feel a part of the overall business. Feels like a good time to join a company like this as they are in a process improvement and maturation phase. Seeing a lot of improvements in general business processes, IT, and HR. People generally lean towards simple, commons sense solutions rather than grandiose plans, which is always good sign. Company also has a strong foundation to help those in need. Benefits (medical, FSA) has gotten better and easier to work with. Location (Irvine) is good and facilities are clean and modern.

Cons

Company could centralize more functions and standardize. Company's traditional conservative history can take a life of its own. Traditions are good but sometimes you have to break them. PTO allowance could be better. The cafe in the business complex is horrible.

Pros

I like the people I work with

Cons

Company is not what it used to be under Mark Wetterau. Now with Lindsey Goldberg as the new owners, I feel like I have to walk on egg shells. The gap between the execs and everyone else makes us feel like they are entirely different people. Never thought GSF is just another stepping stone to a better company.no room for growth what do ever unless you know someone or work under the right executive.
