The skills and experience gained at Gentle Giant continue to serve our employees long after they move on to their next opportunity.
“There hasn’t been a day in the past 20 years while at Wharton or as a management consultant that I have not applied the lessons on trust, teamwork, leadership, mental toughness, and integrity that I learned at Gentle Giant.”
Taso Goujiamanis — Vice President, Vertex Pharmaceuticals
“My years at Gentle Giant were formative in my personal and professional development. From constant training and leadership development to a culture that creates a tribe of people trying to achieve great outcomes, it is a unique workplace that can set you up for an incredible future.”
Brandon Sparks — Former Mover, Crew Chief and SF Branch Manager; current Director of Rugby for Major League Rugby
“Entering medical school, many of my peers simply did not have as much experience performing in high-pressure situations where each second counts, people are depending on you, and you have to think quickly on your feet. To be a good doctor, you have to make good decisions. I learned the importance of making good decisions during my time running jobs for Gentle Giant.”
Louis Insalco, M.D. — Former Crew Chief
“Working alongside other Giants during those early years of adulthood made me productive, efficient, dedicated, and humble. There is no better feeling than driving home tired knowing that I did everything I could to make a customer’s day better. My coworkers are impressed by the strong work ethic, servant’s heart, and go-get-’em attitude that the Gentle Giant culture promotes.”
A.B. — Former Crew Chief; current investment banker
“Gentle Giant is the best job I can imagine for an athlete. The days are physically challenging, great fun, and extremely rewarding. The camaraderie is excellent — being able to laugh and crack jokes with your coworkers makes the day pass quickly. I could not recommend Gentle Giant enough.”
R.G. — Former Mover and Dartmouth College rower
