Vantaggi

Met some wonderful, smart and fun coworkers who I cherish.

Svantaggi

Buying into a culture that is ultimately a lie. Day one you are "family" we are all "family". "We only hire the best and brightest!" So they build you up to knock you down. Only 100% positive reviews and full raises yet no reasoning for being let go. From the very beginning of 2017 we were told never to worry, there was even a whole call on not worrying. Then the bottom falls out and they give no rhyme or reason to who they are selecting to be let go. Strangely the company is still going to proceed with their annual trip to Las Vegas as it is the "culture". They are sending over 70 people into 2017 with a "best wishes" but are going to spend easily over $2M on this one trip. No efforts were made to curve the layoffs/RIF. No management rolls were eliminated in the RIF.

Thank you for taking the time to voice your opinion and write this review. Recently Goodway made the very difficult decision to reduce our workforce as we head into 2018. This workforce included both individual contributors and supervisory level employees. While it was not an easy decision, it was one that we felt was necessary in order to best position ourselves in the coming year. Another part of ensuring our success is coming together at our semi-annual company meeting. We decided to continue with this meeting to help our new account teams meet in person and help re-engage our staff staying with us as we enter the new year. These trips have budgets less than half the amount listed in the review. Unfortunately, we know this has been very emotional for those impacted and Goodway has provided at no cost to the employees: 6 months of career coaching and outplacement services through CareerArc, free membership to FlexJobs and a career connections LinkedIn group updated regularly with open positions, all with the hope of finding each impacted employee new employment by the end of the year. While we have a strong family culture here, ultimately the decision had to be made to ensure the continued success of the business. It is because of our family values that we are making such an effort to provide time and resources to those impacted.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear the flexibility of remote work, unlimited PTO, strong client partnerships, and supportive colleagues have been positive parts of your time here. We also recognize the impact that layoffs, role ambiguity, and change communication can have on the employee experience. As the business evolves, we’re focused on creating greater clarity, improving enablement, and strengthening how we communicate through change.
