A typical day at GMS is fast-paced and engaging, with new challenges that keep the work interesting. Over the past two years, I’ve learned how to adapt quickly and sharpen my skills in recruiting within a highly technical industry. Management is approachable, supportive, and open to new ideas, which makes collaboration easy. The workplace culture is one of teamwork, respect, and innovation, where employees genuinely support one another. The hardest part of the job can be balancing priorities in such a dynamic environment, but that same pace makes it exciting and rewarding. The most enjoyable part is seeing the impact of my work bringing in top talent that directly contributes to GMS’s success while working with a team that feels like family.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great place to work.  The culture is really what makes it great.  Management really lets you spread your wings to grow.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Supply chain issues.  Everything comes from China. so yeah.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Amazing, theres pastrys every friday.  Every month the company celebrates birthdays or birth months and anniversary months.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Check with the engineers if there's anything that needs your assistance in handling.

Management is absolutely horrible. The VP of production has no idea how to do her job, and takes it out on everyone else by micromanaging and criticizing everything they do. Don't believe me? Take a look at all the cameras right in peoples faces through the building, and then ask where they all lead. That's right, she just watches you all day, and if you leave to go to the bathroom, she knows, and uses it against you. Not exaggerating. Majority of the workers actually call her Cruela De vil, its pretty funny yet sad. Couldn't leave quick enough.

Upon my start with the company, it became immediate that several of the EMPLOYEES (not supervisors or leads) were given certain leniencies towards dress code and behaviors. Being new, I was treated with absolutely no respect, talked down to, treated as if I was stupid. Over a several week period there was no work to be done, but we were expected to review schematics for the duration of our shifts, with nothing to do hands on. The VP of engineering constantly hounded the supervisor  and asked her if she knew anything. Terrible working environment.

I was the Inside Sales Coordinator for many years. I loved  the company and most of the people you work with are very nice. 
I was able to learn  a lot from the engineer's and management in order to  advance my career. I was grateful to be able to travel to the trade shows. 
The owner can have a temper but I found a way to get along with him, stay clear & do your job and you will be fine. 

The work is very fast paced and always changing. If you have the desire and put in the extra effort there are opportunities for both skills and professional development. The company is strong on promoting from within to qualified individuals. Employees are very helpful to each other.

Not really bueno. Get something else. Literally anything. Waste of time and career path. CEO bullies everyone. Manufacturing management micromanages like no other. All in all. Remain unseen and everything will go smoother. Kind of like prison.

GMS is a fairly small company. My manager was bully and unfair. He would not take time to investigate and understand my view. When he talks, I'm expected to listen and not talk back. He doesn't care to listen and don't want to listen.

GMS was a fine place to work. My co-workers were awesome & the new facility is well-maintained. There’s not much room for career growth and upper management needs improvement, but overall I learned a great deal and enjoyed my time there. 

I was hired in as customer support tech. I got my title changed to Assistant Administrator. All I did was take new orders from customers and coordinate returning item with the lab to be prompt and punctual.
