Pros

Great People, Great Business, Solid Values, Great 401K match

Cons

Benefits are expensive and company doesn't provide short term or long term disability coverage [you have the option to elect it], no work/life balance, no tuition reimbursement, raises/merits are a hit and miss, no bonus payout.

Focused on fleecing customers at every opportunity. Poor strategy and poor employee relations.

Pros

Gate Gourmet offer employees a good basket of corporate benefits and will give non-advertised benefits which are not readily available to others, providing employees agree to sign a non-disclosure note. Modern offices, some great staff, and good facilities with the exception of horrible coffee.

Cons

Limited opportunity to for advancement, organization rarely promotes from within preferring external candidates. Arrogant executives who think they know more about customer desires than those on the front lines with customers. Poor strategy. Little to no market differentiation. I was awarded a pay rise and a bonus and then asked to lie to my direct reports, stating that due to poor results there was no money for them. Management mentality is old fashioned and out of date.

Pros

You'll get a lot of experience! Good stepping stone to a better company.

Cons

Make sure to bargain for the highest comp. you can get as it will be really hard to get more money once you work there. There are a lot of industry veterans with no experience outside the industry and with no higher education. Very, tough environment with REALLY long hours. Intense pressure to change things all the time.
