Pros

An excellent group of people, nice building, strong benefits package. I get the sense that (flexible work accommodations aside) the compensation is at least competitive. Strong culture, real commitment to inclusion and social responsibility. I would have probably given the company 5 stars a year and a half ago.

Cons

Post-COVID, GAF has been trending in the wrong direction. There was an abrupt transition back to 4 days a week in-office (and the impression that it will eventually be 5), with no credible rationale provided. Morale was the lowest I'd seen during my tenure, and there is a sense that more layoffs are on the horizon. The average age of leaders within the company seems high. Key hires are being made from outside the company which does not inspire confidence for long-term career growth and all the changes that will need to be made once a lot of leaders retire.

Current CEO does not care about employees

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture is what made this manufacturing company stand out as a great place to work. The new CEO is dismantling this culture and eliminating work life balance.

Cons

The new CEO is dismantling this culture and eliminating work life balance. Culture is changing for the worse. Morale is at a low. May not be a safe place for parents anymore.
