A typical day at works begins with getting my barrel with supplies ,going to start work on my assigned floor. I start in the kitchen ,remove waste out of the bin and wipe down the tables,countertops and cleaning out the microwave. I clean down the sink and wipe down the stainless steel on ice maker,fridge and sink. I will check the floor and clean it off with a broom then mop the kitchen. I work at an office and check each office to check for debrise to be vacuumed ,change waste bags,empty trash cans. I dust the windows,computers and wipe down the dek toos. I clean the bathrooms,checking on suppilies and filling them.I will clean the toliets,sinks and wiping down the stainless steel doors and cleaning the floors. when I am dune with my job I will remove the waste and take recyables to the apporiate site. I will ensure that I have enough supplies on my floor and in my barrell so that i will be ready to work.
I have learned that there are different types of management and it all relies on the person that is doing the job .Sometimes its possible that a new hire on is admitted to the company and may not know everything and you have to teach them the ropes. This can be hard because, in a way you have to be a team leader and sometimes it maybe hard because, you have to learn from your mistakes on how to communicate with your co worker. The most enjoyable thing about the job is knowing that you are apperiated by the people in the office that will compliment my job dune.

Im really grateful for the opportunity GDI gave me, not gonna lie!

But the fact that as employers we don’t get paid as we supposed to…no overtime payment….we have to work even on stormy days and snowy days that could be dangerous driving and walking…..we have to go outside every time we have to walk to another building and sometimes the temperatures are wild!!!! Also when talking about materials for some reason we have to announce many times we are running out of certain things so that they order everything and it’s kind of not responsable from a company to do that since with COVID we have to be more careful and sanitize as much as we can and use gloves!!!! Also every single time that there’s a complain, which is a couple of times even if we leave everything shining of clean, they asks us for giving evidence of our work……also when we have to be absent they don’t have a substitute who can do the job so that way the other employers don’t have to work extra….

The role of a project manager is highly commendable for its dynamic and impactful nature. Project managers are essential in guiding projects from conception to completion, ensuring that objectives are met on time and within budget. They possess a unique blend of skills, including leadership, strategic planning, and problem-solving, which are crucial for navigating complex challenges. Their ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and manage resources effectively makes them pivotal in driving project success. Additionally, project managers often have the opportunity to work on diverse and innovative initiatives, contributing to organizational growth and development. Their role not only involves overseeing tasks but also motivating and inspiring team members, fostering a collaborative environment. The satisfaction derived from seeing a project come to fruition, coupled with the skills gained, makes the role of a project manager both rewarding and integral to achieving organizational goals.

I was previously employed by GDI and enjoyed working for them until they had a change in management since they cannot keep employees. New management did not know how to speak with its employees and very condescending. They hold favortism to the ladies who say yes to everything but are never at work.  While working in an area that needed constant supplies and the need of workers coworkers who actually worked, they pile up responsibility to one employee and expect it to get done without more pay and equal distribution of roles and responsibilities. They allow employees to work in joggers and florescent colors, at times weather permitting they are wearing very explicit and revealing clothing. while others get reprimanded if they don't use proper uniforms.  The lazy employees who do the least get the most hours while the ones who work more get worse hours. the most enjoyable part of the job is going home. They do not pay you accurately and expect you to still do the work. My checks were always short. 

Working at GDI OMNI was an interesting experience.  Everyday I was assigned a different job. I learned so much there with production and sanitation. A typical day at work was long and sometimes difficult. I worked 8 to 12 hours a day. Sometimes I would package the girl scout cookies in big heavy boxes and prevented them from blocking up the machine. Another day we would do sanitation and often sweep, mop, and clean the conveyor belts. The people there were very friendly. The hardest part of my job was a specific machine I was often at.  It would break down repeatedly which would cause hundred's of little boxes of cookies dropping everywhere and people all over would have to help me or someone would constantly have to refix the machine. The most enjoyable part of the my job was working in production. I enjoyed working with the cookies. The cookies were easy to handle and were fun to produce.

ive just reached my three month period. work is quite simple , clock in and clean thoroughly and clock out. I work alone at my particular job site. my supervisor is very helpful and understanding.  usually im kept well stocked and occasionally tips on how to better make my job even better. the hours are flexible (at least in my case)with weekends off. it's probably the least stressful job I've had and I enjoy what I do.  there's no hourly production rate ,no boss breathing down you're neck. as for pay raises I'm yet unclear as too how this works as of yet, but if I had too guess it's your typical yearly review as per usual .  it's not a job for you if well you don't like cleaning and you're seeking a higher wage. overall I've been pleased with my job. but what works for me, might not work for you. if you're tired of the manufacturing world and want something a little more flexible and  different I'd say give it a go.

GDI is a company that continues to make meaningful progress in a competitive industry. There’s a strong emphasis on delivering quality service to clients, and that expectation is matched by hardworking teams across all levels. The culture rewards those who are proactive, solutions-focused, and committed to operational excellence.

Over the past year, there’s been noticeable improvement in internal communication and strategic alignment, which has helped streamline priorities and drive more consistency across operations. While no company is perfect, the organization is clearly investing in long-term success through leadership development, technology upgrades, and talent retention.

The pace can be demanding, and navigating legacy processes takes patience, but there’s a lot of potential here for those who want to grow and help shape the path forward.


I was a contractor for this company for almost 2 1/2 years working at a poor excuse for a manufacturing company. The job I had was sub-par, the department I worked in was in constant disarray, management had no clue what they were doing half the time, and I have never been treated with such disrespect and arrogance on a regular basis in my life. I was not a person there, I was a means to an end. I worked there, but I was never made to feel like I belonged there. The turn over rate is high for a reason. GDI needs to pay their employees more, treat them better, offer better benefits and incentives, and make sure their employees are satisfied.  I was not remotely paid what I was worth based on my skill set and experience.

A typical was day was great for the first 1.5 half.  I was told what a great job I was doing power washing the surfaces used by the bus drivers and others that used public transportation, then all of a sudden they asked me to cover for some in the even shift then it finally I was working overnights.  I was the new kid on the block and I felt my kindness was being taken for.  I noticed others where doing my job and then I spoke up.  What happen to my regular hours, no one could give me an explanation.  Finally I was placed back on my original shift but I noticed my supervisor attitude changed towards me.  I guess he was kind of angry because I spoke up for myself.

GDI probably would be a better company if they had better Unbiased Managers that were Decent & Fair But instead they have Managers that show favoritism to Team leads that are vindictive & calculating that can tell any lie to get you fired or removed without any proof only if GDI would check up on their managers & find out they never come to the Buildings to see what's going on they LET thE tEAM LEAds CAUSE CONFLICTS AND DRAma they make you sign training papers pretending that they trained you.. I JUST WISH THE COMPANY WOULD ASK THE WORKERS  HOW THEY BEING TREATED BU THEIR OWN MANAGERS & Find out they DEFINITELY NOT DOING THEIR JOBS ..I LOVE MY JOB BUT THESE MANAGERS MAKE YOU WANNA QUIT OR SLACK on your jobOjobYOURJOB  BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT VALUED AT ALLMAKEYOUNOTNOT DO THEYOUR BEST .. SIGNED  DISAPPOINTED UNHAPPY CURRENT WORKER
