Pros

The majority of the employees here are friendly and make it easier to get through your day. The work load is pretty heavy and fast paced, which I like. Most co-workers are readily available if you have questions or require assistance in your daily projects. Other pros: • You get a pay check every other week. • Large company with a lot of employees. • The company is established and has been in business for 37 years so it is pretty stable.

Cons

No 401k matching or profit sharing. There are some people who "work" here that should not be here. If you are bad at your job simply because you are lazy or unwilling to put in the time, make sure that your actions do not adversely affect other departments. One mistake can often have a chain reaction that wastes a lot of time. Hire managers from within the company who have thorough knowledge and experience in what they are supposed to be managing. Employees should not have to train their managers on how to manage them. There is a learning curve, but certain situations that negatively impact the workload of employees can be avoided with the use of common sense and making sure information is correct and complete before assigning projects. Communication is key. "I don't know" is not a good answer.

Pros

I arrived at Gibson in 2017 and since then I've met some great wonderful people here! If you are a good employee and are serious about doing the job and wanting to grow, doors and opportunity will open for you. I have been in 3 different departments here and learned so much in each of them! I am very happy in my current position and look forward to staying with Gibson for many years to come!

Cons

Only thing I can think of is: I wish there was more natural light coming in inside the office, but I understand this is a big building and isn't always possible. You can always use your 15 min break to step outside and get some nice sun and take a fresh breath.

Pros

They offer flexible hours with a positive work environment. From Christmas parties to lunches and raffles celebrating other holidays Gibson makes you feel like not just an employee but part of the "Gibson Family". They appreciate the work you do and reward good job performances with annual salary increases and bonuses.

Cons

I Really can't think of anything
