Pros

Work from home. Biannual company get togethers. Will learn a lot about a growing industry in programmatic.

Cons

Goodway is an extremely competitive company internally that believes good enough won't cut it. The company is obsessed with progressive discipline. Supervisors throw their direct reports under the bus regularly to make themselves look better. Many people have been fired in the past year for performance reasons, most of whom were good at their jobs. Any mistake made starts the 3 strikes you're out process, no matter how small. Employees are encouraged to give feedback, but when they do voice their opinions, they are often written up.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We've heard similar feedback before and have already made changes to our process. 1) We split the Performance Improvement Plan out from progressive discipline to help those who are not performing improve BEFORE moving to progressive discipline. 2) We just completed the first Manager Development Program with current managers to help mitigate what you describe above. And 3) we have provided more resources and tools for managers so they can better help you. With any change, it takes time to see the changes fully take effect but since we were made aware of these challenges several months ago, we have been able to work on these since. I think you'll see a change in 2018 and if not, please reach out to EE so we can help you directly. Thanks!
