Vantaggi
I worked for more than five years at Goal during diverse tasks which ultimately saw me as part of the social media side of things. Overall decent experience, enlightening, great work environment despite it being a remote job. Pretty well paid considering the average in my region, too.
Svantaggi
Oh boy they do lack tact to handle their staff. I've never seen such a lack of empathy and pedantry ever in my life as a professional. They demanded you to spread thin far too often and acted shock at the sight of the slightest dip in performances. My "role" as a social media manager doesn't begin to cover the amount of stuff one had to try, emphasis on try, to fulfill on a single eight-hour shift: from the usual article posting, which all had to be catchy, creative click baity posts, continuously fill almost every channel feed with video, memes, graphics that incited call to action, extend your shift way past time in case of an emergency with no extra income or consideration of any other kind whatsoever, be sure Facebook groups weren't filled with spam, interact with people across all channels, look up at the video providers feed for the juiciest content and post them on almost every social channel, keep tracks of, literally and this is no exaggeration, hundreds of daily mails to not miss the few key ones that we could use, fulfill commercial deals, manage translations with different regions, and so and so and so. On top of that, you were expected to give an "extra", by this I mean: what differentiates each member of the team? Well, you'd hardly even had time to develop that extra skill, and they never told their employees, but it was so painfully obvious they wanted you to do so in your offtime, as if the workload wasn't enough for the already small group of people trying to cover all the bases and then some. And careful if you somehow didn't manage to do everything perfectly cause those errors were things you were always gonna be held accountable despite being the slightest, silliest of mistakes any person could have after being so overworked.
