Layoffs, RIFs abound – be careful with GR, they are shrinking now (I left last year)
Glassdoor reviews are managed, so you can disregard this – it’s overengineered by HR they keep it above average and will give you a swekewed picture about GR – read my notes below
My take:
-
Go back and read my note on RIFs (above). There is another one coming.
-
Good people, OK-ish exec management, I’d say GR is better than MOST companies in the industry
-
Horrible name, hard to pronounce. What were they thinking???
-
The IT Group is bad, there is no reliable support
-
Penny pinching, watch out for that expense report
-
PTO is bad, need more. Much more.
-
Health Insurance is bad, no maternity leave – go figure. It’s 2018 after all, wake up – the worker deserves it – if you make over 100k you will sub the guy that’s making under 100k… Think about it…
-
401K is low, paid annualy, so if you are not around in December, you lose the whole year.
-
My onboarding in 2014 was chaotic. At best.
-
Some branch offices are dumps, look around. It’ll surprise you. They need to button up this.
-
Anything tech, systems, IT, support, is bad, bad and bad.
