No pros to speak of

Working at Good-Loop was a definite low-point in my career. While it presents itself as a socially-motivated organisation, what I experienced doesn’t resemble any form of ethics that I am familiar with. The company frequently hires staff straight out of school. This is not with the intention of providing them with the skills and experience to embark on their careers, but to use and abuse them. The expectations placed on these youngsters is entirely out-of-step with anything I’ve seen in the industry. While somebody without any prior experience would ordinarily be expected to work only simpler tasks and to require extensive mentorship, at Good-Loop they’re expected to handle senior-level work without any assistance. A junior member of staff taking a long time with a task would ordinarily be taken as a sign that they were not being adequately supported or that the work was simply beyond their current abilities. Here, on the other hand, you can expect to be shouted at, told you’re not good enough, accused of being lazy, etc. It felt to me that my manager’s role wasn’t to help me, but to prevent me from recognising how I was being exploited. I was expected to do the work of a senior staff member because the company didn’t want to pay for experience. If you’re considering joining this company, I would recommend that you reconsider. The pay is bad, they treat you poorly and you’ll learn less than you would working elsewhere.
