Atmosphere / Co-Workers
“Everyone works together, and it is a very close-knit group. I’ve been at far smaller companies that did not have this. It’s amazing to work for a place that employs 3,800 people, yet everyone seems to know everyone.”
“I’ve never been at a company where so many of the staff have been there 10, 20, 30, and some even over 40 years. They are very flexible with hours, and everyone works together. This is by far the best employer I’ve ever had, and I plan on staying here until I retire.”
“Great insurance, great location, free parking and good benefits!”
“I joined the admissions team in Feb 2020 just before COVID really hit us hard. It was an adjustment to say the least, but I can say that I would not have wanted to go through this time with anyone else, except the wonderful and supportive “family” at Gilchrist.”
