Pros
I joined GDBA after serving 8 years in the Marines. When I started with GDBA, I expected to be fast tracked based on my previous military experience. Quickly I learned that everything with this company must be earned. I wanted higher pay, so I volunteered to work more shifts and special assignments. The schedule changes frequently which mean it allow numerous opportunity for overtime. On the other hand if I need time off, I can schedule the days I need off. I have two girls that are very active in sports, and it’s always been important to me to be at their games and practices. Through proper planning, I am able to at attend at least 90% of their events. A lot of associates at GDBA are taking advantage of the schedule for other reasons; either going back to school or completing certifications such as EMT, Sky Diving Jump master, or getting a pilot’s license. There are plenty of opportunities with GDBA; you just have to roll up your sleeves and put in the work. I started with GDBA in February 2007 and was promoted to manager in October 2007. There is no trickery, favoritism, or manipulation. If you have a strong work ethic, this is the right company for you.
Cons
Every job has its highs and lows. Work is busy not never overwhelming.
