Careers at Gentle Giant
An Award Winning Workplace
Gentle Giant is proud to be recognized as one of the "Top Small Workplaces" in America as recognized in 2007 by The Wall Street Journal and Winning Workplaces. For three consecutive years the Boston Business Journal has recognized us as one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts. Additionally, we have been recognized for our exceptional commitment to employee health and well-being as one of 20 Boston-area finalists of the 2006 Perfect Balance awards, given by the Ad Club of New England. The award celebrates organizations that have "successfully instituted and fostered an innovative health and wellness program."
The Gentle Giant Experience
We believe that if we take care of our staff they will take care of our customers; this principle has guided our success for over 25 years and has resulted in a work environment that has been the subject of wide acclaim, both within the industry and beyond.
At Gentle Giant, you will find challenging professional opportunities in a wide range of disciplines including sales, customer service, accounting and marketing. Equally challenging and rewarding opportunities can be found as a part of our industry-leading moving operations team.
Employees working in excess of 25 hours a week receive generous benefits including life, medical, and dental insurance and a matching 401K plan as well as seasonal bonuses, and profit sharing. Because Gentle Giant has a long-standing tradition of athleticism both on and off the job, believing that physical well-being is key to employee satisfaction, we provide free gym membership and unlimited access to an on-site chiropractor.
We Develop Leaders
Moving is widely considered one of life's most stressful situations. At Gentle Giant, you will learn to work effectively and professionally with fellow employees and customers going through what is always a deeply personal and often very challenging experience. These interactions provide a living classroom for leadership training. Employees who demonstrate aptitude and desire a challenge are quickly promoted to positions of increasing responsibility. We also offer a formal mentoring program to develop leaders interested in managing one of our offices in an ever-growing network. This is a hands-on, real life training ground that will equip you for success whether you stay at Gentle Giant or apply these skills in a wide range of careers.
Some of Gentle Giant's most valued managers draw daily from the lessons they learned as movers. We are proud of our managers, office and sales staff that started on the trucks, working hard to rise through the ranks. We are equally proud that Gentle Giant has served as a launch pad for former Giants who are now leaders in their fields.
What It Means To Be a Gentle Giant Mover
At Gentle Giant, we develop leaders, not laborers. Working as a mover on our operations team is a point of pride for the men and women at Gentle Giant. In a company where moving is a sport, the moving staff are the varsity athletes, able to perform at a level our customers can scarcely imagine but always anticipate. Many current movers have been with the company for several years, citing workplace satisfaction as a top reason for staying on for so long. We provide a professional and challenging workplace for the duration of an employee's term and a valuable set of skills for when an employee moves on to other endeavors.
Mover FAQs
Once a Giant, Always a Giant
When asked what they most enjoy about Gentle Giant, employees uniformly reply, "the people." While we strive to provide a friendly and professional work environment, the staff at Gentle Giant are the ones who make the real difference while on the job and outside of work. Whether it's side-by-side on the soccer field, out on a cross-country bicycle trip or just relaxing after a tough day, there has always been great camaraderie at Gentle Giant.
Gentle Giant also offers a number of activities to foster such relationships, including summer and holiday parties, road trips to Six Flags and the beach, hiking trips, ski trips, entries for running the Boston marathon, free gym membership, a company-run boathouse for rowing, and occasional theater and sports tickets.
