GDLS does not support minorities

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, flex time, 9/80 Schedule, vacation

Cons

GDLS touts themselves as a Veteran Friendly Company however, each Layoff numerous Veterans whom were minorities. Comments made by several non-veterans were "why does the Company hire Veterans" taking jobs from others. Of the approximate 140 persons laid off in June 2011, 130 were a mix of veterans and minorities. Management was informed duting last performance evaluations to bring scores down. Evaluation numbers were lowered and this was use as why emphasis for laying those with lowered evaluation numbers to be laid off. No remedial training available or given for those whom management feels are less then average performers.

Pros

Great Benefits,decent pay. They make it seem like a great place to advance and grow with a world class company, but really you are less that a number to these people.

Cons

Dealing with the HR and the upper management is a joke!! No one knows what they are doing,the most disappointed I have ever been working for a company! Always trying to screw you out of something.
