Great - Anonymous employee GoLocalProv.com Employee Review

I interned at GoLocal in their early years and got to experience the all hands on deck, fast-paced startup atmosphere. All interns were part of the team doing real work, jumping in on projects wherever help was needed, going out and shooting interviews and doing research for new stories. Overall positive experience and definitely prepared me for life after college.

I guess the worst part was no pay

While at GoLocalProv, I had the opportunity to meet several interesting people outside the company and improve my professional network.

I was hired at GoLocal under the promise that I would be given the opportunity to learn. My salary was less than the listed minimum because I "lacked sufficient experience." It quickly became evident that I would not be given sufficient time to learn and adapt to my role, nor the support I requested and was promised. I was frequently berated for my "substandard" work and was expected to constantly work overtime without receiving anything for it. Emails belittling my work were sent at all hours of the day. Work-life balance is completely nonexistant. I witnessed my coworkers getting the same treatment every day, many to the point of quitting to escape the abuse. After I left the organization, it took me several months and outside intervention to receive my final check.
