Training/Development
GFS Marketplace provides our Sales Associates with a variety of training opportunities, including: a thorough orientation that introduces them to the GFS Cornerstone Values, our culture, history, safety expectations, responsibilities of their job, policies, and the many benefits that GFS Marketplace offers. Our Sales Associates also enter an 8-module on-the-job training program where they learn how to perform any front or back-of-the-store duties. This cross-training strategy allows them to service the store and our customers with the highest level of efficiency and confidence. In addition to training, we also offer development opportunities for Sales Associates who are interested in store leadership positions. Our succession plan will prepare an individual with exposure to the essential responsibilities for a Shift Leader or Assistant Manager role. Providing this opportunity to develop future leaders is of key importance to our successful growth as an organization.

We utilize a blended approach to our management training including on-the-job knowledge and skill building, personal one-on-one attention, self-paced training modules, e-learning opportunities, and an array of instructor-led courses.
