Pros

Professional work environment, excellent location in Irvine Business District, the company is implementing new technology to update their methods of doing business, which I find hopeful. I think there are a lot of good people who work here. Lots of tenure here at GSF. Birthday and anniversary day per month to celebrate with cake! Also depends what department you work in as some departments are more current with the times - IT for example. Family-oriented work environment which is nice. Good opportunities to get some advanced training and learning.

Cons

- No paid vacation for a year for professionals - Outdated "old school" culture where they want you to work 8-5 (no flexible work hours) - No music (dead silent environment) and no streaming music allowed - Too much concern and surveillance about internet usage - Wi-fi doesn't work so well in the building (outdated wi-fi?) - Pay is not super competitive and in line with the external market
