Pros

Can't think of one outside of honey baked ham and $50 gift card for Christmas.

Cons

Once upon a time, Creed & Value was something to be proud of at GSF, but the last few years, especially in IT, it no longer applies after the new IT management team joined in 2017. 1. Cost cutting everywhere in IT (ex: IT no longer gets $90/mo cellphone reimbursement while outside of IT still gets $90, creed & value? ) 2. Laid off for the first time in company's 70+ year history, but only the old timers in IT got impacted while the new hires from CIO since 2017 were all safe. They used position elimination as the excuse to save cost; however, they only laid off the employees who joined prior to the CIO, but at the same time they continued to hire more people. I

Pros

They give you a Honeybaked ham every Thanksgiving. What else do you want? The dress code is business but people are generally easy going. Company is always trying to better themselves and innovate. Also regarding the review titled re: "If you're in IT and are reading this - Run!!!"..... well you’re wrong. Maybe 3 years ago it was top heavy but there are working managers in IT now. The days of “I come up with the idea you figure it out” are gone.

Cons

Deciding where to eat and dress Code.
