      Pros

      Cant think of any to put

      Cons

      This company is very corporate like for a company that really is not that big. They act like they are a small company while at the same time preaching they are a big company (identity crisis). The IT department is very cliquey. The encourage people to not put in a ticket for an IT issue and just bombard the desktop team with their issue. If you cant help them right away, they are very impatient. Management is more concerned with furthering their own careers and their likability with other departments than managing the team. The manager of the team is both a director and a manager, to say he is out of touch with reality is an understatement. They tend to hire people who are stagnant in their careers for this position. They do not want to train anyone. Laziness is the biggest issue on the team. Stay away, you have been warned.

      Pros

      Good people. The office itself is nice.

      Cons

      High high turnover. In my office, we lost ~80% of the mid-level management in a year and a half (project managers and section leaders). We lost probably 20% of the low level staff. No one is working in the office. Non-existent office culture as a result. Redundant management style. Lack of direction. Miscommunication, conflicting messaging, and unfulfilled promises.

      Your comments about turnover reflect the competitive nature of our industry, as vying for top talent is more fierce than ever. CHA’s Talent Acquisition Team has been working on overdrive to fill vacancies and recruit great team members to our company. Indeed, COVID has taken a toll on office workplace culture across the board, not just at CHA. On the bright side, we are fortunate to work in an industry that is thriving despite the setbacks of the past 18 months, and that our employees have been able to transition to work from home so successfully. We appreciate you taking the time to leave comments here, the good and the not-so-good, as we can always grow from constructive feedback. I’m thrilled you like your colleagues and feel good about your office environment and I’m sure more and more people will start to return to the office over the next number of months.
