Pros

Great operators and maintenance crew. Pay isn’t too horrible.

Cons

Horrible management and supervisors. They tend to treat people below them like crap. They don’t respect anyone who isn’t same level as them. They talk bad about everyone and belittle others. They like to be sarcastic. Definitely not a professional environment. They promote discrimination. They treat females and minors like crap. One of the supervisors yelled at one of the female operator and she went home shaking. One of the supervisors threw tissue box at an operator. Both of those supervisors are still there. There’s no team work at Mt Vernon. No one trust anyone. If it’s not their idea, they won’t listen to you. I wouldn’t recommend this plant to anyone. Stay away if you are a female or minor. No one should go through the stress of working here. Most of the good employees left and are planning on leaving.

Great company with supportive and talented people, an excellent work/life balance, and a positive culture. I truly enjoyed my time there and will miss it, I really loved working at this company.

Cons

Some processes and team structures could benefit from further modernization, particularly in expanding Agile adoption compared to leading IT organizations.

Pros

Cafeteria food is decent and the building is nice

Cons

This place has really gone in the gutter over the years, hard to see how it will turn around. If you’re thinking about joining, the industry is Good but I’d stay far far away from GAF
