Pros
- Stable company, they're not going out of business anytime soon - Solid health benefits - Fair pay
Cons
- PTO policy is archaic (12 days, no sick time, 17 days after 5 years service). If you're fortunate enough to have multiple offers, use this as a bargaining chip although I've seen the company not budge when a prospect did this exact thing. - As the headline suggests, this is your parent's or grandparent's company in terms of corporate culture. Broadly speaking, this means they don't invest in employee well-being despite my personal belief that the initial investment (i.e. expenses) would easily be recouped with increased production due to increased morale in the long term. However, any other image that comes to your mind when you think of "your parent's corporation" is probably accurate. - More of a neutral point, but Gildan can definitely provide an opportunity for continuous/gainful employment assuming you do your job. However, don't expect to fulfill your passions or personally blossom here. It's a typical Corporate America job, so just go in with eyes wide open. If this is your thing, then consider this point a pro.
