Pros

- Very self-directed, the opposite of micromanagement - Fair starting pay - Remote-first culture (even before the pandemic) - Not a very stressful environment as long as you're happy with what you're doing This is a great part-time job for a steady paycheck while working freelance/on your own projects, or if you're burnt out and want something for a while that's not challenging or stressful. It would also be a decent entry-level job to get your foot in the door.

Cons

- Very little growth opportunity - Pay doesn't scale well over time I would not recommend staying at this company for long if you want any sort of career growth or even just to keep up with your peers. Raises are few and far between. Promotions are virtually nonexistent for the content team. If you stay longer than two years, your pay and position will fall behind relative to others of your experience.

Pros

I've worked at many jobs where managers have claimed that "We're all a family here" - but only at Goldstar did that actually feel true. Management at Goldstar genuinely cares about fostering a good work environment and positive company culture, which doesn't just show in the perks - monthly catered lunches, happy hours, truly incredible Christmas parties, not to mention more free tickets to live events than I could ever possibly hope to use - but also in how they treat their employees behind the scenes. During my time at Goldstar I had a brief dispute with the company over a miscommunication regarding my benefits package. When higher-ups reviewed the situation, they apologized for the confusion and compensated me for the money that I was owed. I felt heard and respected in a way I haven't at other jobs. Although I was a part-time remote employee, I came into the office at least once a month for company-wide meetings and would often stay the whole day because of the enjoyable atmosphere. The other employees were genuinely friendly people and fun to be around, both in and out of the office. Even over drinks after work, none of the full-timers had anything bad to say about their experiences at the company. I really felt lucky to work there. As a part-timer with other freelance clients, the stability of and flexibility of the work was ideal and allowed me to pursue a variety of opportunities that would not have been possible otherwise.

Cons

The hourly rate for the work I was doing was not good, and there was no standardized performance review/raise system in place. I worked 20-30 hours a week for five years with zero negative feedback on my performance, and only received two minor raises in my first year and a half with the company, and none for the remaining three.
