Gogotech Reviews

Go check out the CEO's comments here. Does he really think that job searchers who read such an arrogant response will want to work for him? Go check out the rating on the Better Business Bureau, he says. What he doesn't say is that this used to be an F until Gogotech started paying them. Suddenly, all the reviews just got erased. He says that people were toxic when he got there. This is just not true. Maybe people were worried about the future, but that doesn't make them toxic. And was there some entitlement? Maybe. But maybe that entitlement stemmed from pride people felt in that they successfully built up a company? How unacceptable this pride was to someone who contributed zero percent to the growth of the business, wasn't even there when it was happening. This same person decided that all the people who grew the business didn't deserve to be paid what they got, because it looked bad on his balance sheet. Apparently, people were only "good enough" for their salaries before he bought the business, because he cut everyone's pay shortly after coming in. That sir, is not how you inspire people in the workplace. Sure, win over your employees by completely overhauling their day to day tasks while taking away their incentives instead of adding to them. That's a great strategy. Sorry, but his attempt to sound reasonable and down to earth through this platform has failed. It doesn't sound sincere at all. Nobody wants to read about his split test, and how he tries to compare himself to the CEO of Zappos. I mean, really? And there's plenty of people who left last year by their own choice and not because he asked them to leave. These people were just fed up for working under people they didn't trust and thought they could do better.

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.
