Some personal Gelson’s employee statements include:

  • Working at Gelson’s is like being with family.
  • I love the work-life balance.
  • It is a welcoming place and as soon as you walk in the door it is a positive environment.
  • All of the employees are welcoming and are inclusive of everyone. I feel at home to be myself around the customers and employees.
  • There are great opportunities for employees to grow within the company.
  • I have never worked at an establishment that is always of an uplifting, positive and compassionate level like Gelson’s.

That compassion is also seen in Gelson’s partnerships and philanthropic commitments, from a range of community events such as pet adoption days to recurring food drives, with Gelson’s donating more than $4 million in product to food banks over the last 12 months.
