So GoLocalProv’s a Scam, Right?
Looking through Glassdoor today and saw two very damning reviews that align with things also seen on reddit.
Review 1:
Pros while at GoLocalProv, I had the opportunity to meet several interesting people outside the company and improve my professional network.
Cons I was hired at GoLocal under the promise that I would be given the opportunity to learn. My salary was less than the listed minimum because I “lacked sufficient experience”. It quickly became evident that I would not be given sufficient time to learn and adapt to m role, nor the support I requested and was promised. I was frequently berated for my “substandard” work and was expected to constantly work overtime without receiving anything for it. Emails belittling my work were sent at all hours of the day. Work-life balance is completely nonexistent. I witnessed my coworkers getting the same treatment every day, many to the point of quitting to escape the abuse. After I left the organization, it took me several months and outside intervention to receive my final check.
Advice to Management: Mr. Fenton is not interested in listening to anyone’s opinion other than his own. If you don’t do everything exactly the way he would, prepare to hear about it. My advice to him: listen to your employees. Appreciate and promote their talents. Your ego is sabotaging the reputation of your company and the mental health of your employees.
Review 2:
Pros: Even for the low pay, this could have been an enjoyable and informative job, if it wasn’t for the person in charge. The other employees were nice.
Cons: Sketchiest job experience ever! Do your research before you apply, especially on CEO Josh Fenton.
