Pros

Relaxed, relatively easy labor, great starting pay and benefits, and work with some good people. This company is always trying to improve in many areas as well, and the FORCE program is a fantastic way for employees at all levels voices' to be heard.

Cons

The 2-2-3 schedule is not for everyone. It can be hard to adjust to, and I'd say some folks just can't adjust to it.

How To Tank Employee Morale

Customer service

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free bagel Thursdays. Summer Fridays. Employee group events well done.

Cons

GAF is the textbook example on how to tank employee morale. Take a walk around the office and it is full of stressed out, burnt out, fed up employees. We continue to do our work at a high level without any concern from top leadership. 3% raises are not keeping up with inflation. Movement is limited within the company. The move to 4:1 (or 7:0 if it were up to the outgoing and incoming CEO’s) is further limiting any semblance of work life balance. People are unhappy and it shows, and it’s not just the lower level employees who are fed up. Unfortunately the economy and job market are not favorable to find a new and comparable job so people are staying.
