Vantaggi
Fewer and fewer each day. The people are by far the best aspect of the office but more are fired or leave each month. The soul of the Goat has long since been crushed by private equity firms that don’t care about the outdoors we play in. Hybrid work model with 2 WFH days/week. You’ll be underpaid and you or all your coworkers will be unceremoniously fired but don’t worry, in the words of our new CFO, “you can get a discount on an $800 espresso machine through Sur La Table!”
Svantaggi
Uncompetitive salary, even by outdoors industry standards. Extremely toxic company culture with employee tracking software monitoring apps used and sites visited, rating employee productivity hours, which was used as justification for employee layoffs. Sweeping employee furloughs to avoid reporting further layoffs and paying out severance to impacted employees. New owners recently reduced parental leave down to 4 paid weeks. Minimal career growth opportunities. Performative diversity efforts that barely lasted a couple years after 2020.
