Pros

I have been working for goFLUENT for more than six years. It's the kind of company where you don't really worry about your stuff going missing such as your cell phones or wallet. People tend to mind their own business but are generally quite friendly when spoken to. There are instances, though, of missing food. One actually complained of a couple of cookies disappearing from her jar. Management is fairly lenient to the employees. They can step out of the office every now and then as long as they produce the required output. You can find employees who have been working for the company for more than a decade. That's how comfortable the work atmosphere is. You can even find their work stations decorated with various personal items. Many find the company their second home.

Cons

Of course, as is the case with any company, there is dissatisfaction. Pay is fairly adequate, and is even considered high for many in the industry, but for trainers, many complain that the salary doesn't increase. In my opinion, when the dissatisfaction outweighs the satisfaction, then that should be the time the employees should consider checking out other companies where the grass may be greener.

Pros

You meet many interesting people around the world. The people who work for the company are friendly and helpful.

Cons

It's a fast-paced environment and can get very busy but that's not always a bad thing because it's never boring.

Pros

For a side hustle, maybe.

Cons

Toxic work environment, rules on the fly, no respect, arbitrary, shenanigans for not paying, changing payment methods in detriment of the trainers, negative work environment, completely unmotivating, never appreciate all the clients that appreciate a trainer, and politicize the teaching methodology to spread environmentalism and pro-big tech agenda ideals.

This review raises a number of serious accusations, and we feel it's important to respond to them directly. Suggestions that the company engages in "shenanigans" to avoid paying trainers, advances political agendas or dismisses people for being honest simply do not reflect reality. Transparency is one of our core values, and payment structures, incentives, and policies are communicated very clearly. We also reject the suggestion that trainers are not respected. Trainers are at the centre of what we do, and respectful, professional communication is something we expect from everyone in the organisation. While your overall view is clearly very negative, spending more than eight years with the company suggests there were aspects of the role that continued to work for you over a very long period of time. We wish you the best going forward.
