5. I have been working at GFI for 6 years in the Health dept.
I really enjoy working with our clients and assisting with
their inquiries regarding employee benefits; especially
when they end on a happy note. Attending new business
& renewal meetings has been quite a learning experience
which provides insight knowledge on benefit packages as
well as providing experience in educating administrators
to make the best decision for their employees.

7. I’ve been with the company for 10 years, and one of
the best aspects of working for GFI is that we are truly a
family. It’s not one of those companies where people are
simply “work friendly”. We are part of each other’s lives,
we spend time together outside of the office in non-work
related events and activities. We are there for each other.

Manager in Kansas City, MO, and I am completely
blown away by how amazing this company is. My
direct supervisor is the best mentor and leader I’ve ever
worked for. I believe that what sets this company apart
from others is their genuine concern for the wellbeing of
their employees and the compassion they exhibit. The
working environment that has been created is one that
welcomes feedback, and they reward a job well done.
Every employee is encouraged to share innovative ideas
as to how we can do things better and more efficiently,
and every employee has a voice in the company.
