Pros

There are really no pros about working for this company.

Cons

Don't be fooled by this Instagram-approved company trying to sell a dream of 'helping others' with their 'life changing' content. I've seen 19 members of staff leave within 6 months of working at this company. People management is the worst I've ever come across and to put it simply, they treat humans like disposable garbage. Nobody is ever good enough for Goalcast, which is why they continually run the same job advertisements for years on end. They hire people on short trials to get new ideas without having to give these people the benefits of a full time employee, and these people are sacked on the spot, often overnight. Also, looks matter. You have to fit their Instagram approved look and persona to be considered as an employee. If you don't have that, you will not remain here. I've seen multiple people move from across Canada to work for Goalcast, often with family, uprooting their entire life only to be dropped overnight because the manager disliked one of their ideas, or they didn't get enough video views with their latest idea. There is absolutely no room for employee growth here.

We welcome constructive feedback as we realize there is much we can improve on from a leadership, organizational and communication perspective. Your advice to management has been taken into consideration. However, the information shared about turnover, trial jobs and visual appearance is dishonest and misrepresents the organization. We encourage applicants to ask our People and Culture team about our turnover rate and to reach out to current employees to learn more about our culture.

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!
