Beyond competitive pay, Gordon Food Service supports its employees with affordable benefits from day one, a 4% company match on 401(k) retirement plans, profit sharing, guaranteed paid weekly routes, and an environment focused on internal promotions. Drivers are not only treated as valued community members in their local markets but also as integral parts of a stable and thriving company committed to their long-term success.
