Pros

My coworkers are some of my favorite people. I do believe the company is taking many strides to promote employee wellness and satisfaction. There are excellent opportunities for advancement. Gate Gourmet is a fast paced and sometimes intense environment, which I thrive in. I've never been bored in my time here. I feel like a lot of people on Glass Door are way too negative. I read the comments on this site before I began employment with GGI and I sincerely feel like this isn't an accurate representation of this company. Gate Gourmet is not perfect, but it is one of my favorite places I've ever worked. I have an eternal green light to take full initiative and ownership of my work. I know I have an impact value here. Also, you are immediately 100% vested in your 401k match... which is always nice.

Cons

Health benefits have poor coverage and are too expensive. Mid to senior level employees aren't given enough vacation when they start. Transparency from the top level could use a bit of improvement.

Pros

I heard a ton of negative things before I started working at Gate but thought I would give it a shot. I have worked with some of the larger orginizations in the DC metro area and very few compare. Gate provides a positive work enviorment with a tremendous amount of opportunities for growth. Do you work hard? Yes, but it's not unreasonable at all! I have worked a number of places where they expect the unachievable and this not that type of an environment at all. Not to mention that the people that surround you everyday are all sharp dedicated professionals who know how to combine fun while driving for success on a daily basis. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I am excited that I have had the chance to work at Gate Gourmet.

Cons

The benefits are not the best but certainly not the worst in the market. Although there is the opportunity to work from home at times it's not a virtual driven environment. When traveling to some great locations you never stray that far from the airport.
