Pros

Great people actually doing the work to run the company.

Cons

I see a lot of other reviews comparing the culture at GMS to that of a frat house and I would have to disagree, the owner is more akin to a high schooler whose parents are out of town for the weekend. Zero professionalism, no tact, and no empathy or compassion for anyone but himself, his bank account and his ego- which has apparently taken a huge hit recently. The way he presents himself at company meetings is at best, disrespectful and immature. His latest unhinged decisions are truly mind blowing. It's apparent that he wants people to quit, the very people who are running his precious company. Perhaps he saw something from the front seat of his Tesla, or his Lexus or maybe it was the Mercedes, that no one else could see as he decided to rip away pretty much all company benefits promised to GMS employees, including the company cars. Whatever the reason was, it wasn't shared with anyone other than maybe his inner circle (clique). Even more disturbing, was his decision to eliminate all remote work unless you are 40 miles from a GMS office. He bragged about the fact that GMS was already setup for remote work at the beginning of Covid, so there is absolutely no reason to have the entire company back in the office 40 hours/week-unless again, it's to boost his own ego. My advice to anyone looking for employment, stay far away from GMS. Toxic is an understatement for the way this company is run. Mike Kahoe cares only about Mike Kahoe.

Unfortunately, the uptick in negative reviews on 10/11 and 10/12 stemmed from disgruntled employees upset about a company-wide change. GMS is confident in our decision to move away from the company car program. We have worked closely with Motus to establish a fair reimbursement program to ensure employees would be adequately compensated for their automobile usage and mileage for business-related travel. Our new arrangement offers employees a monthly stipend as well as business mileage reimbursement. If employees have any questions or concerns about the new program, or any other concerns, they are encouraged to reach out to Internal HR to help better understand this new benefit. We understand that change is hard. We are here to help you through this change.

Pros

My department team was helpful and management was honest about expectations. Management was helpful and kind.

Cons

The company gave me a raise and then laid me off the following week. My management wasn't made aware till an hour before I was. And they were cold and brief. They laid me off due to the company needing to do kick backs. No pto pay out. No severance pay, no notice. Immediate termination. Two other people on my team were let go and for other people in my 12-person office. The company was clearly going under but still took the sales team on international trip, even insurance stated they would not be covered. The lack of professionalism from everyone was mind blowing. People came into work hung over. You have to baby the sales reps. They have constant training. And the sales reps constantly didn't care. The CSR were better at paperwork and negotiating then the sales rep and were also being under paid.
