GFS is wonderful company to work for, but room for advancement is minimal. This company is so great to work for, internal postings are very few and far between. Another issue is the salary...As your responsibilities change, your pay does not. However, it's a trade off as you are offered great insurance at a low price and multiple company outings.

Other – more... than that, they are very flexible and very family orientated. They support the continuance of education by offering to help with college tuition – less

The management team is awesome. They care about every employee and their families. The stores always looks brand new.

Good benefits if in management or higher up. Great part time job. Family owned & Christian based company.

a typical work night is,i mostly stay at my register, but as a cashier im required to restock pop and bread so ill take time to do that, a little bit later in the night i change all the garbage and after we close at 8pm we have to empty coffee, vacuum the rugs, sweep and mop the floors, and clean the bathrooms.

great group of guys to work with start time was early got off at a desent time

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
