started around 7am and worked till at least 5pm. Then monitored voicemail till 9pm.
my manager was the always available and truely wanted me to succeed.
95% of my co-workers had great attutudes and were willing to help whenever needed.
The hardest part of the job was staying up with the constant changes as they grow to a national company.
The most enjoyable – more...  part of the job was creating good working relationships with my customers/partners. – less

At GFS you are hired on as a sales associate so you will work as both a cashier and a stocker. You will be asked to answer customer's questions, clean the store, slice meat and other general tasks. The management is always very understanding if you can't make it to a shift as long as you find someone to cover for you. It is usually easy to find someone – more...  to cover because all of the sales associates are very friendly and act like a family. The only negatives are that sometimes it is hard to get hours when it is not graduation season or near a holiday. – less

This is an excitng place to work. The company invests a lot into training in order to keep turnover low. The pay is above average and so are the benefits. The corporate culture is always positive. This is a high growth organization.

not very secure employment, not very family orientiated, a little bit of teamwork, everyone is not trustworthy, did not explain the job enough, what was expected, daily activities, Whole place is a cooler, then there is a freezer, and ice cream freezer -20

A typical day is slow. But I learned how to set up orders for costumers and truck orders, work register and check inventory drive a pallet jack stock an entire store.Management wasn't that good to many managers in such a small business telling you to do the same things or to stop doing what the other one told you to do something else then causing conflict – more...  in the workplace they don't know how to work together. – less

Moved product to lanes to be loaded on trucks to be delievered to customers

At Gordon Food Service, I alway's have a Productive Day. My day consist taking care customers, answering phones, stocking shelves, or cleaning the store. I get along with all of my co-workers, and management. Threw my experience at GFS, I have learned Customer Service is a very vital part of the position. I honestly have no complants about GFS, except – more...  it isn't a full time postion. My Favorite part about working at GFS is communicating with the customers. I am a very out going, Friendly person! – less

You feel like family when with this company. Everyone welcomes you with open arms.

Gordon Food Service is a great place to work! The Gordon family is very involved in all aspects of the company. All levels of management are considerate, helpful and supportive. If you have a chance to work for GFS, don't pass it up!

I spent several years with this company. The family was great. The Gordons treat you nice and are friendly. They have, however, put some people in positions that they are simply not qualified to hold. The district/regional managers are truly out for themselves and will hang you out to dry in a heartbeat if it suits their own interests. They play favorites – more...  and promote those who follow them lockstep. Don't you dare question anything or you'll be singled out and there's no turning back. In my store, we were consistently meeting sales goals, winning contests and yet, we were singled out over and over for meaningless "violations" until it became clear that I needed to find another employer. It's too bad really because, as I said, I believe the Gordons do really care about their employees. Unfortunately, they have grown so large now that the days of managing things themselves are over. – less

GFS is an excellent company to work for. Traditional family values with a Private company that is still growing and run by the family. The benefits and pay are awesome.

I have worked for the company for eight years and have been able to move up. The opportunities are there as the footprint gets larger. There are several different classes and trainings to help develop self-growth and the expectations are very transparent.

All my co- workers are friendly to everyone. The managers are wonderful too! You can get health insurance for yourself or for your family even if your working a part- time position. They also provide a 401k, the store is also very competitive so you could recieve gift cards, and many other rewards; and of course employees get a 10% in store discount. – more...  They are also very flexable with your hours. If your looking for a employer who actully cares about you, then GFS is the store for you! – less

They have great benefits, but they don't pay very well. And if you want to advance be prepared to move every few months.
