Work principles
From the reviews of work in the Guta group, conclusions can also be drawn about those principles on which all the organization’s activities are based. First of all, the company seeks to produce products that combine traditional recipes and innovative technologies. This is most clearly seen in the confectionery industry. At the factories belonging to the Guta group, sweets are produced according to the carefully preserved recipe of pre-revolutionary and Soviet times. However, all production lines are equipped with modern equipment, and workshop specialists are developing fundamentally new product lines. Especially promising is the release of sweets that are suitable for a healthy diet. A few years ago, such production was simply impossible.
Product consumers

Company Employees: General Description
Since Guta finds its presence in fifty cities of Russia, it is easy to imagine how many people work for this organization. At various enterprises today employs over thirty thousand people. All of them are highly professional and have passed quite a serious selection.
The feedback of the Guta group employees in Moscow (2016) is replete with stories that they were checked at one of the interviews even with a lie detector.

Guta Group, employee reviews (Moscow)
Naturally, it is difficult to imagine real comments written only in a positive way. Therefore, we will consider the pros and cons of working in this organization.
If timely payment of wages is very important for you, then you will definitely like the company. All employees note that management transfers payments to bank cards on time always. When the wage day falls on the weekend, payments occur earlier so that people do not remain without money. This concern for staff is very uncharacteristic for modern entrepreneurs and testifies to Guta as a reliable employer.
Those Muscovites who like the fast working pace and constant change of activity also respond well about the company. Such a rhythm here is quite a common thing, therefore only people with a certain character set can cope with the work.
Those who plan to get a job in the company should take into account that it is not customary to mess with newcomers here and they are initially treated as professionals in their field. Therefore, they ask in full from the very first days in a new position. This, according to many employees, leads to rapid professional growth. After all, everyone wants to show everything that he is capable of. Do not forget that in the team you will not be praised for a successful project, but they will practically be squeezed from the light for failure. A similar attitude is characteristic of many large corporations.
Muscovites relate the following points to the disadvantages of work at Guta:
- ban on social networks;
- the need to translate all your plans and results into the language of numbers, which not everyone succeeds in;
- the most severe ban on being late;
- the abundance of paper work;
- Numerous stages of interviews and proficiency tests.
Of course, for some, these disadvantages are insignificant, but for others, they will become a serious obstacle to getting a job.
Guta Group, employee reviews (Rostov)
About work in the Rostov branch of the Guta holding it is quite easy to find reviews. They also have positive and negative characteristics. We will cite both of them.
The advantages of many employees include an abundance of benefits. This was made possible due to the fact that the group includes quite a few small companies that occupy leading positions in various fields.
It is pleasant that the company takes safety measures seriously. Several times a year, briefings and exercises are held. Each employee knows exactly how to behave and where to go in case of fire or in the event of other extreme situations.
Many note a young and friendly team, in which they respect employees who can find compromises and negotiate with other employees. Such qualities are important when you work in a huge holding, where in one place a lot of people with different characters and ambitions are gathered.
Some former specialists of the Guta group, having worked in the company for several years and gained the necessary experience, managed to open their own business and are successfully implemented in this area.
Among the negative reviews, one can single out dissatisfaction with the abundance of video cameras in offices, the need to always go everywhere with electronic passes, tight control of Internet traffic and a long check of job seekers for a free vacancy by the security service.
Belgorod branch: job prospects
Among the reviews about the Guta group in Belgorod, the majority are positive. The social package, which includes paid annual leave and sick leave, is especially pleasing to employees. The management of the company and the children of its employees do not ignore it; gifts are given to them on holidays and special events are held.
It is worth noting that caring for their employees is also visible in equipping offices. They always have a buffet, a dining room, lounges with microwave ovens and coffee makers, coolers with fresh water are in the corridors, and workplaces are equipped with everything necessary at the request of the staff.
Many employees note human-oriented personnel managers who are clearly doing their job, without prejudice to the dignity of applicants and not wasting their time.

- poor ventilation in the rooms;
- busy schedule;
- unwillingness to introduce newcomers to the course of business in the first working days;
- the need to coordinate a large number of papers with management;
