Vantaggi
I worked for GoECart for two years. Although I was a subcontractor I often wished I was an employee! No company is perfect and every benefit package can't meet every employee's needs. Having been in the workforce longer than anyone currently at GoECart including the CEO (yes I am older) I will tell you there are a lot of bad companies out there and GoECart is not one. Having been through a lot of management styles I will say that I respect and appreciate the one this CEO has. Granted he has a high expectation of his staff but what is wrong with pushing employees to do their best? What impressed me the most was the consideration for the employees, A few months after I started working there the whole company with their families including children were taken for an all expenses paid three day weekend for meeting their goals. This is unheard of in this day and age. Even back in a better economy when I worked for much larger companies this would never be offered. There is a summer and winter party as well as other "thank you" for a job well done. And here family comes first! I know companies who wont even allow spouses to attend a holiday party because of cost. And when I personally had a family crisis the empathy and consideration I was given blew me away. Any employment relationship takes the work of two. I moved on only because I was presented with a job in an industry that I love, not because of an management issue.

The only con was the longer work day. However people do not realize that the breaks that they take to smoke or walk outside is not owed them at least not by CT labor laws. A once a week meeting when you are on the clock and getting a free lunch is not unreasonable. My advise to someone reading these reviews to consider employment is to use them for better questions in an interview process. People take whatever is offered in the interview because they need the job and then complain about it later. It is not the perspective employer's fault you didn't ask the right questions. Make sure the hours, the benefits and the expectation is what you need for your personal life before you accept the offer. Remember an ex employee is an ex for a reason. Don't assume an ex employee did everything asked of them or that they even left employment in a professional matter. A high turn over can sometimes be nothing more than the inability to read an applicant. So make yourself clear in your needs. Remember you are interview ing your potential new employer as well.
