Pros

Front line employees although undervalued and underserved still do what it takes to get the jobs done.

Cons

Abhorrent employee culture due to CEO who leads by fear and intimidation vs collaboration and lacks any empathy for front line employees' daily stress of providing for themselves and their families. Any sign of business challenges (especially during early stages of Covid or loss of a client) immediately results in the elimination of roles as more work piles on to existing employees without incremental compensation. A COO who regularly undermines the CEO in front of employees but lacks the back bone to challenge CEO to improve culture, service and products and patronizes his direct reports when his ego is challenged. A checked out HR department resulting in the inability to fill critical roles, offers poor medical, financial and self development benefits, minimal growth opportunities, and itself experiences the highest turnover within the department. The company offers an outdated commodity product that will soon be irrelevant and refuses to innovate at the expense of long term growth. Hourly employees subjected to harsh working conditions (lack of proper ventilation, air conditioning) and expected to work non stop shifts for non competitive compensation. Overall, an outdated and under-performing organization led by people who have no right to be called leaders.

GSP Companies Response

We are sorry to read your impressions. Your comments, however, seem to ignore the results that our leadership team has achieved. While other companies in our industry shrank during the pandemic, we continued to grow and create new job opportunities for our employees. We implemented safety protocols well ahead of federal and local mandates. We have raised starting wages in each of our plants, we expanded benefits for all of our employees. And we are proud to have leveraged this growth to continue to create new leadership opportunities for employees throughout our organization. Our success as an innovator is best demonstrated by the list of world-class retailers who have licensed AccuStore to manage their store data or engaged our design team to create next-gen store experiences. Our success in offering sustainable solutions attracts some of the most environmentally conscious brands in retail. We are not perfect… we continue to learn from our employees and our customers. But we feel proud of the results that our leadership team has delivered.
