The worst company I've ever worked for

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.

A sinking ship

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.

Worst “Leadership” and Management I’ve seen in my life

Pros

Unfortunately there is nothing good to say about this company.

Cons

Lack of real leadership. People in charge have absolutely no clue what they are doing. They lie through their teeth on a constant basis. Avoid working with them at all costs. They will tell you lies daily just to get all the juice out of your work, and then they will break their promises when it’s payday. Also, there is a weird culty culture going on. It’s toxic and manipulative.
