Pros

- Diversity at forefront of values - Career advancement opportunities and transparency abound - Work is recognized and rewarded - Management style is mainly laid-back: we work hard, we play hard

Cons

- Retention of those who shouldn't be: GMI loves its employees and it hates letting anyone go. Great for job security, but it means you will certainly work with someone who shouldn't be there.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
