Pluspunten

I learned: 1.) how much sleep deprivation a person can endure before they smarten up and leave the company 2.) the true meaning of being an indentured servant 3.) what NOT to look for in your next job 4.) how much effort it takes to do the job of 3 people at once

Minpunten

You can only write down so many but here goes: -Not paid on time ever or at all. I tried to get my paychecks from Mr. Fenton for some time and they were sent back to me unsigned, and thus, I couldn't get paid because the business isn't legitimate enough to offer direct deposit. -The "CEO" was dishonest, condescending and enjoyed throwing temper tantrums that involved screaming at and demeaning employees (oh, sorry "INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS" who work round the clock 7 days a week) on a regular basis. Downright unprofessional and manic. -I once had a soda thrown at me and it almost fried my computer (you guessed it I bought this computer not the company). -You will be blamed for mistakes other people make that are completely out of your control. -Turnover rate is so high because no one can stand the working conditions. The company has a history of people simply walking out and being threatened with "legal action" for breaking "contract". Which if you actually have a lawyer read it is completely bogus - you can't force someone to work for you for a year just because. -You work in a basement. -You work with Mr. Fenton and he basically owns you, your time, your sanity and oh, yeah the money he owes you while blaming you for all of his bad decisions (i.e. the company). -You work with Mr. Fenton. -THE KICKER: You're promised a wealth of experience in a field that is exciting and interesting and really you're just being taken advantage of by someone who doesn't appreciate or care about the amount of effort you put forward. All that matters is how many people share the click-bait on social media and that the company gets noticed.

Pluspunten

I interned at GoLocal in their early years and got to experience the all hands on deck, fast-paced startup atmosphere. All interns were part of the team doing real work, jumping in on projects wherever help was needed, going out and shooting interviews and doing research for new stories. Overall positive experience and definitely prepared me for life after college.

Minpunten

I guess the worst part was no pay

Pluspunten

While at GoLocalProv, I had the opportunity to meet several interesting people outside the company and improve my professional network.

Minpunten

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 my 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 nonexistant. 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.
