Pros

Many of the employees seemed really nice, location is decent close to times square. Metrocard was untaxed but you still have to pay for it And free avocados when they were there, it was hit or miss

Cons

1 Growth - ultimately theres no vertical growth. Yes if you are a star and put in your time you will probably become a team leader a couple years down the road but dont count on that time you put in to save you when its time for the company to show profit. 2 Management- I went to college for business and this company fits the mold of the exemplary "bad" companies we cased for management and leadership disasters. Employees are treated as expendable assets because the assumption is there will always be new employees. The work is pretty basic and employees come and go fairly regularly. If you are considering employment with Gogotech and you accept the offer to work there, understand you are the reason that makes this concept possible. Do yourself a favor and just keep browsing to the next company. 3 Leadership -uninvolved. The CEO knows about Gogotech no question but he is relatively uninvolved in any leadership capacity. Decisions (the kind that affect many peoples employment) are based on the portfolio of the investors and they will always win...a downsize in employment has the same effect on their profit as a good month selling, maybe better. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but consider yourself warned. 4Pay - Employees are low-balled with payment, especially in the commission area and the commission breakdown is complex and aimed at reducing payout. The unspoken rule is to work well over 40 hours, thats fine, don't get paid overtime, fine. But there isn't a reasonable salary or a clear advancement schedule. To sum it up there is a lot wrong with this company right now and if it wants to survive these things will have to change. But do you want to be a part of it while this is happening? FYI Some of the (positive) reviews here are fake. Yes many of the staff at Gogotech are happy with their jobs, but they are probably not the ones writing these positive reviews.

Pros

The Times Square office had lovely views before it closed.

Cons

I only entertained taking this role because from the get go the executives promised $200k total compensation. I was headhunted for this role and given a base of ~$160k, told the rest would be in the form of an annual performance bonus. Three days into the job I was told this company was bankrupt, and it was up to be to save it, as the executives did not have my expertise and their advertising was failing. I discovered that ~20 employees were burning millions in ad spend while padding their wallets with commission for getting views, not sales (essentially embezzling). The former head of a department submitted his resignation immediately, but the executives did not seem to care about the other employees who had driven this company’s once massive profits into the ground. Further, they ignored every plan I put together, and essentially paid me $160k to have the an owner stand behind me all day and nitpick on email template designs down to the pixel. I helped the company last twice as long as the c-suite expected but they did everything in their power to make sure they did not survive bankruptcy.
