Pros

Goecart owner's (a/k/a CEO's) wife was nice to work with. She was always smiling and happy and went out of her way to be nice to people.

Kontras

Where to start a Goecart review. First, the Goecart company is also known as Machrotech. I've worked for several high tech companies but thought Goecart's environment was terrible. Staff fit into basically one room with a mini fridge, microwave, and keurig. If you like to smell everyone's lunch then this is the place for you. The smell seemed to stay in the air for hours. Work day was 8:30am to 6pm with a half hour for lunch. People were expected to work late just because. So unless you are going to bring your family to work with you (to work for free), don't expect to see a lot of them on weekdays. I felt very micro managed. I've never worked for any company that had people wait until one year of service before they could qualify for a sick or PTO day, or a year to qualify for health insurance. There was no 401K. Sorry I can't describe more. They made me sign a lot of papers if you know what I mean. It seemed Goecart workers that weren't a founder or part of the family all had low self esteem. I was aware most people were looking for a new job. The company boasts of being started in a dorm room, In my opinion the senior managers/founders have no more than dorm room management acumen. Customer relationships with staff always seemed adversarial. This company refers to itself as an exciting start up but has been around a pretty long time. I would like to leave a better review of Goecart but can't. Hey, you never know, the company may have changed since I was very recently there. But you know what they say about a leopard and its spots. if you're considering going to work for Goecart then do your research. Tell them you saw this and ask them what they have done to improve. Maybe look for other Goecart reviews and explore further. Good luck!

GoECart welcomes opinions of our company however this “former employee” does not have their facts straight by a long shot. We’d like to respond to these points one by one in order to be as transparent (which is also one of our core values) as possible with future candidates. • There are no micro managers here. We encourage our employees to lead and work as independently as possible. We have a flat hierarchy with zero office politics. • Our business hours are 8:30 to 6:00 with a 1 hour lunch and breaks. • You get paid holidays from day one. Paid time off is accrued with each month you work here. You can take paid time off any time after six months of employment. Most companies operate the same way. • Full health benefits and 401K through John Hancock are available within 60 to 90 days of employment. • Our customers are what drive us. In fact, we have great relationships with all our clients. We have a spectacular record of client success and retention. We won the 2013 Best Customer Service Stevie Award on that very basis. • We have more than doubled our office space and moved into a beautiful brand new suite in a class A building downtown. While we offer world class amenities and awesome perks (like free lunch, stocked fridge, massages, movies, etc.) to our employees, what we offer more than anything else is meaningful and challenging work in a highly dynamic environment where each person gets to make a difference each day and can even impact the larger ecommerce industry in general through the collective clients and end consumers we serve. We believe that together we can indeed put a ding in the universe! So as you can see these are the real facts about working at GoECart. If you want to learn at a 2X-3X pace and love working with awesome colleagues in a super exciting industry like Ecommerce and Digital Marketing, GoECart is the place to do just that. Come join us! Applicants welcome!!

Pros

If you are driven and looking to obtain a terrific work experience in a fast paced setting, you'll enjoy it here. It's like going to the gym - you'll be challenged and may not like it in the very beginning but you feel great when you get into the rhythm and lose those 10 extra pounds. I learnt here faster than anywhere else. My colleagues were intelligent, driven and hard-working.

Kontras

Not a place for someone who likes to complain or not willing to word hard. It still takes 80 minutes to get to NYC by train. Relatively flat management structure.

Pros

I really like that the company from the top to the bottom strives to do better each day, for all its stakeholders - customers, employees, partners and community. A place where hard work is expected and rewarded. A technology company that does not rest on its laurels, ever. Every member of the team is treated with respect, be it the brand-new intern or the VP. Each and every person has a voice and the company encourages them to share their opinion openly. Best practices are always the standard default for doing most things. When you have an environment with such high standards, every employee's game improves at a very rapid pace. Very friendly atmosphere with lots of team camaraderie but that is never confused with the high performing culture. Tons of opportunity to learn and grow at every level. Learning never stops, EVER. I have learnt and grown professionally the fastest at GoECart than any other organization I have worked for previously. GoECart is sensitive about its culture and goes above and beyond to promote it and also shield it from contamination. The company moves fast and expects its people to act with agility because that is the only way to keep its customers successful in today's fast moving technology world. One last thing, no politics and no-nonsense place.

Kontras

The company needs to invest more in structured internal training as they continue to grow rapidly. The company is in a rapidly growing e-commerce and retail technology industry but it must execute fast to take full advantage of the market opportunity. So, it is not a place for you if you do not share the same core values as the company.
