Pros

Great people in general. Benefits are great and the salary is high for entry-level, you have opportunities to travel and they have a great campus.

Cons

Gossip is constant, and there is a lot of silent animosity because of this, in other words, it is cliquey. This goes for every new employee at any company but be watchful of who your manager is. Also, very hard to get promoted from within, 2 CEO's in the past two years, and countless new C-suite officers in that time frame too, This company is private, they can reorganize, open, and close business units more fluidly.

Pros

Co workers are nice and easy to work with. Seems to have an above average job security.

Cons

High workload that is not compensated for. Overachieving does not equate to pay raise. Only way to get a decent raise is to be promoted.

Pros

No vesting period for 401K Access to linkedin learning

Cons

No resources so the buyers also do the receiving, which is a conflict of interest Very poor onboarding (You never feel like you are a part of) GAF uses three purchasing systems, Coupa, Maximo and Peoplesoft, so it will take you three times a s long to learn everything. GAF also does not use microsoft products, no word, no excel no outlook. They use Gmail.
