We’re disappointed to learn about your recent experience with GSL Group! Treating employees with respect is a fundamental value at GSL and we have zero tolerance for anyone who would speak inappropriately to other staff. We are sorry that you had to either witness this or had it happen to you. Please reach out to us at hr@gslholdings.com so that we can look into this matter immediately and address it appropriately. The impact of the pandemic has definitely been felt in some of our businesses more than others, due to the nature of some of the industries we are involved in – especially when it comes to recreation, sports, hospitality, events & entertainment. Although there have been a number of temporary layoffs in those areas of the organization across all levels of staff, our intent is to recall employees as soon as it is safe to do so and we are fully operational again. At the same time, we have also been fortunate to see growth in other areas of the organization – growth that has led to the creation of job opportunities in both management and non-management positions in a few of our locations and venues. The pandemic has fuelled many difficult decisions, and we are still learning and growing as an organization. Your constructive feedback on communication and workload has been extremely useful as we take steps to create action plans and further our commitment to ensuring a rewarding, engaging, and stress-free culture for all of our employees.

Vantaggi

There really aren’t any pros. Perks vanished at GSL as ownership continued to take more and more away from the individuals who work there.

Svantaggi

The culture of this company is beyond toxic. The leadership team takes no accountability for their poor decisions and multiple errors. Ownership likes to point fingers at everyone but themselves. Staff are treated like cattle and replaced like a pair of old socks. Raises aren’t earned at GSL, but often given if someone threatens to leave. Many of the longtime staff are miserable and the new ones quickly wonder what they have gotten themselves into. The smartest ones leave when they can. Upper management isn’t respected because they do not lead by example. The staff in the trenches get no credit and are not rewarded. They let go or lost many of key people who helped build GSL to what it is today, including for the entertainment/arenas division, as well as the hockey team. Ownership plays a large part in all of this. It will be no surprise if both Victoria and Kelowna push GSL Group out in the near future due to the horrible relationships GSL has built in both cities. Relationships with vendors are also terrible because the company often takes months to pay them. Many of the positive reviews you’ll find on Glassdoor are from HR representatives trying to increase the rating or it is from staff that they have coerced to do it. If you’re thinking of working there, consider this your warning not to.
