Goodway Group reviews

Salary was abysmal! I didn’t realize this until leaving, but I was paid very, very low and was unable to get raises outside of performance review standards. They used remote work as a way to justify the lower salaries, which is no longer lucrative given the growing list of companies offering remote work. There was very little room for growth unless you were a “yes man” to those in leadership. Leadership was almost cult-like. They planned dept. changes in secret and gaslit you into thinking nothing was going on behind the scenes when you questioned things. I did not feel heard, respected, or valued during my time at Goodway. I was part of the RIF but do not hold any negative feelings pertaining to that, as large clients coming & going is a natural process in Advertising. I would not recommend working here to anyone I care for, and have encouraged people to apply elsewhere when asked if it’s a good place to work.

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.
