Building teams of dedicated, responsive people who go the extra step . . .

The heart and soul of Meriwether Godsey is the people. Because we highly respect and value our employees, they’re dedicated to give back more in return. This close company culture means everyone works together – finding and delivering the best possible solutions for you.

People development

We are committed to helping people achieve their highest personal and professional goals through the right support and leadership.  We set high expectations for performance, train continuously, provide constant feedback and cultivate an atmosphere in which we are delighted by results, but never satisfied that we have done enough.

Tenure . . . Loyalty. . .  two terms that go hand in hand, but are often forgotten these days.  Because of people-focused approach, we experience very low staff turnover.  This is unusual, not only in the current economic climate, but particularly in the food service industry.

Meriwether Godsey employee teams work to eliminate the separate nature often found in contract relationships.  Instead, our teams want to and do become an integral part of our client communities – we are a part of the family.  Through food, our people can learn and respond to the unique preferences of students, faculty, administration, residents, frequent visitors and work in unison with community staff to enhance the quality of life for all.  

What does our family look like?

We look like you! Our service is enhanced by the diversity of the MG family. Currently our make-up shows that we are 51% gen-x and gen-y, 42% baby-boomers, and 7% veteran generation.  On our most recent employee survey, 52% of those surveyed said they had a “best friend” at work. While our MG family is passionate about food, you will see that they are passionate about other things, too: their family, volunteer and mission work, exercise and sports (running, golf, yoga), and cultural arts.
