Lots of reorganization left my team specifically with weak management. The culture can be a little fratty on the sales floor.

Thanks for leaving your review and feedback. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with us at CG and that you felt supported in your daily role. However, I'm saddened to hear that you felt company reorganization left your team with "weak" management. As a scaling company, we acknowledge that sometimes there can be growing pains. However, we aim to support employees through these challenging times with feedback sessions, open forums, and mandatory management training courses for Gurus in leadership and managerial roles. - Andrea Eldridge, Chief People Officer
