Work Hard and Be Nice to People

What’s it like to work at Guernsey?

Holding onto the core values of a family-run business. What does that mean? It means most nights you’ll get to tuck your kids into bed. It means we offer straight PTO, so you don’t need to worry about sorting through sick leave vs. vacation time when your dog needs to go to the vet.


Most importantly, though, it means we’re stable—a very attractive quality during the recessions of 1973, 1981, 1990, 2001 and the Great Recession of 2008. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, and that’s how we operate at Guernsey. Keeping our costs low mean that we protect our workforce better than most throughout hard economic times. Our commitment to our employees is one of the defining characteristics of the Guernsey organization.
