Pros

Good incentive program with ability to make white collar money. Amazing people on the floor with many different interests and personalities. Management is very flexible about giving time off for family/real life emergencies. Management pushes people to do the absolute best job they can.

Cons

Management overlooks corruption on the floor in terms of order digging or refuses to implement solutions for the problem. Equipment is falling apart and in disarray and only top performers get access to good equipment. Management only gives specific well liked employees opportunities for advancement within the company even though performance of said individuals is below par. Not enough recognition is given to employees who bust their asses on a daily basis. Management does not communicate well in terms of future plans and implementation.

Pros

Great equipment, transportation managers that actually care. Free uniforms, great communicators, nice facilities.

Cons

No profit sharing in the chain division. Kind of a scam. Low pay compared to broad-line. Make about 60-70 percent of what the competition pays. Drivers have bad attitudes, and do not seem to care. Most are waiting for the economy to improve to find other opportunities. New recruits are awful, cannot find anyone who wants the job.

Pros

very good benefits including excellent 401k, decent health insurance, tuition reimbursement, ect decent pay core Christian values at the top

Cons

Not a job you can do long term, very demanding physical work. Middle management doesn't seem to genuinely care about the workers, no real opportunity for advancement. Senority means nothing, experience means nothing. Those that are picked for training positions are those who are in the back pocket of management, or in one branch's case those that all live in the same small town of the branch manager. People are not picked for advancement based on how well they can do the job, or what they can bring to the company, but rather how well they can kiss up and not out shine the branch manager. Employee moral is low in the branch, management senses this and tries to make sure the employees don't talk alone. Some of this is probably pretty common work place happenings, but it is unfortunate in a company with such great core principles. Overall, Gordons is a good company with amazing and wonderful Christian values, but maybe it's time for them to review what's happening within their middle management.
