Pros

Office location Okay experience for entry-level employees

Cons

Leaving Goalcast felt like ending an abusive relationship. A lot of effort in trying to make it work but ultimately knowing it's not a good fit. The company has questionable practices and direction, and the culture can be hit or miss. While it's an okay place to gain entry-level experience or start as a creative, inexperienced management can be frustrating. They waste time and resources on some projects that do not help the growth of the company. Your experience will depend on your manager and team. There's heavy favoritism from upper management, and payroll issues and high turnover rates are common. If you're looking for a company that values respect, efficiency, good communication, and career advancement opportunities, it's best to look elsewhere. If they tell you that you’re not a culture fit, take it as a compliment. It’s not an environment where you would want to fit in as it currently stands. At the end of the day, it's a start-up. Be prepared to grind, pivot often, and accept that things change quickly with very little communication.

Pros

- Flexibility - They actually listen to feedback and grow/change from it. - no micromanaging - Culture is great, people are great. - There's so much opportunity for growth here, but you have to have a good grasp on who you are as a person. - you opinion is encouraged at all times, even if it results in conflict - great benefits to help you grow (self dev $, health $)

Cons

Being one of the only US employees, the benefits aren't 1-1 with the Canadian employees, but that's somewhat to be expected with a growing company. I'm confident they'll get there at some point.

We appreciate your feedback. As we further expand and bring on more US employees we definitely want to improve the benefits we offer to our American Goalcasters. Thanks for your patience and if there are any US benefits we haven't yet discovered that the People and Culture team can look into message us on Slack!
