Pros

Work from home environment is a great benefit. You should keep in mind that not everyone is cut out to work remotely. Some individuals may have a difficult time adjusting to a remote environment.

Cons

Major growing pains. They over-hired, made poor business decisions, and are now having a massive layoff. All handled very poorly. Management constantly pushes employees to only provide *positive* reviews on social media in order to achieve “best places to work” accolades. So very dishonest! I am lucky to still have a job here, but have lost all faith in this company and do not feel confident about having a position in 2018. Stay away from Goodway Group, it’s a huge risk!

Thank you for taking the time to write your review and sharing your feedback. We did make the tough decision to have a reduction in force but it is based on right sizing for our clients come 2018. I'm not sure where the idea that management is constantly pushing employees to provide only positive reviews comes from. We are proud of our culture and hope that others will share that on Glassdoor but through our internal programs like SuggestionOx, First Break All The Rules survey and other methods, we continuously ask for all forms of feedback - and address and act on them accordingly. Glassdoor is no different. We are going through a challenging transition as we make our way through the reduction in force, but I hope your faith in the company is renewed once we get into 2018.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear the flexibility of remote work, unlimited PTO, strong client partnerships, and supportive colleagues have been positive parts of your time here. We also recognize the impact that layoffs, role ambiguity, and change communication can have on the employee experience. As the business evolves, we’re focused on creating greater clarity, improving enablement, and strengthening how we communicate through change.
