Pros

Having been a part of the Greif team for nearly 28 years, I can confidently say that it has been a journey filled with opportunities for growth and development. A couple of years ago, I embarked on a new challenge by transitioning to become the Payroll Specialist for Greif UK, a field I have always been interested in. Greif not only listened to my career goals but also supported me through training, allowing me to step into a role that I truly enjoy. The support and encouragement I received from Greif has been exceptional. The company’s commitment to its employees’ well-being is evident through its substantial benefit package and genuine care for our professional growth and satisfaction. It’s clear that Greif understands the value of a health and happy workforce, which ultimately fosters a positive work environment for everyone. My own experience at Greif has been nothing short of excellent. I appreciate the opportunities provided to me, the supportive work culture, and the company’s dedication to employee welfare. I highly recommend Greif to anyone seeking a fulfilling career with a company that values its employees’ contributions and aspirations.

Cons

Recognition for long-term service is an area that could use improvement within the company. Again, Greif have listened, and I am currently part of a project team dedicated to addressing this issue and working towards enhancing recognition for employees' long years of service.

Pros

Working at Greif has been an incredibly rewarding journey that has enriched both my personal and professional life. From the moment I joined the team, I was welcomed with open arms and given opportunities to grow and excel in my role. One of the things that truly sets Greif apart is its commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment. As a proud LGBTQ+ member this is especially important to me. Every day, I am surrounded by colleagues who are not only passionate about what they do but also genuinely care about each other's success. Whether it's through our sustainable packaging solutions or our community outreach initiatives, Greif consistently demonstrates its commitment to making a difference.

Cons

While Greif does an excellent job of recognising employee contributions, there could be even more opportunities for acknowledging achievements and milestones, which would further boost morale and motivation. I am pleased to say this is a project currently underway to look at Milestones and Personal Life Moments.
