Pros

You can climb the ConstructConnect ladder if you want

Cons

This company takes good companies, purchases them and fills them with bad management. They only care about the bottom line and they will walk all over whoever they have to in order to get there. Most of the positive reviews they have seem to be fabricated because they are too generic. The benefits aren't even that good. My company was flourishing and as soon as CC took it over, there was high turnaround and people getting fired, or "let go" without being allowed to say goodbye. They were family, but soon enough the environment felt toxic and HR did not care. Dave Conway is a nice human but takes too long to utter a sentence, there are innumerable meetings of listening to him slowly drone on. Bad management will run these purchased companies into the ground, which I feel is part of their plan so they can wipe out most solutions and make theirs feel the most viable. I felt I needed to leave before I was going to get fired myself. Maybe if you're new, it'll seem like every other mediocre call center job, but it was just such a shame to see the metamorphosis.

Pros

good benefits begin day one plus 401k casual dress they like to reward you with food like a free lunch nice office location if you like sitting in a cubicle Rookwood is a good location for easy access for restaurants and stores and walking at lunch they have a gym in the building you can pay to join

Cons

In my 5 months there they had so many changes, they kept moving me to different cubicles I was on my third and to be moved to my fourth desk when I left. The job requires that you make phone calls to the unqualified leads that have been worked by numerous reps in the past, the software you are selling is expensive and many cant afford it and dont feel that they need it. many construction decision makers are not computer savy and dont want software the base pay is 30 or 35 and the commission is minimal at best, most of the employees on the business development and sales team are young males and they are constantly calling the prospects old guys and I took offense to that as I am older too, every day someone gives there notice to leave and they promoted some to senior BDR in January but told them they would not get a raise for doing the job until possbily July 2019 due to budget freeze, when sales arent where they want them they keep making changes to try to hit goal and all employees are suppose to get early release at 3pm on Fridays and the sales managers would use that perk as an option only if you the BDR hit your goal and that was not fair because all of the other employees got to leave and in meetings the President tauted that as a perk and amounted it to having multiple extra weeks of vacation when you add up all of the early release on Fridays. Very unfair for the sales guys to use it and dangle something that we were already entitled to as a carrot to achieve goals. Very dishonest and unfair. Females dont get far there its a good ole boys culture. HR doesnt listen to any complaints to make changes. They lie to you in the interview and once you get out of training you can see the truth

Pros

- I got to leave with some of my sanity - If you're just starting out it's okay -co workers- amazing

Cons

- Not really work from home- had a family emergency and asked to work from my parents house -was told no only in extenuating circumstances- if I wouldn't have asked they wouldn't have known the difference - I was very confused by their PTO system and even after having it explained to me (multiple times), I ended up owing them money when I left and essentially didn't get a last check because I didn't understand -Managers fake like they care about your success but its a numbers game at CoCo, the minute you're off they constantly remind you (you see your metrics like 3 times a day even though no one asked) everybody can see them so its like being shamed. They put you on PIP's again acting as if they care but you will get fired. -I was excited about the pay this was my first grown up job and it was okay for a while until you realize your role. Without Content CoCo would be -virtually useless- the pay definitely doesn't match- entry level or not. This also applies for the bonus/incentives/metrics in general- construction has a down and up season but for some reason our metrics and bonus targets never reflected this nor did the pay. I'm not a genius though so. - No point in doing the exit interview- they could care less, the person that did mine actually got short with me when i had to email regarding some questions I had about returning my equipment. They'll refer you to their people and culture team or whatever...again waste of time -For about half of time there, I had equipment that was insufficient and eventually had to get a new computer- this was not taken into account for my productivity for those months- they want to see numbers -They say you will not be on the phone that much - you live on the phone. Even after you have a place telling you not to call or being nasty with you, they'll still encourage you to call, its borderline harassment the way some of them MAKE you call. - Their parameters (not sure if specific to each department) for switching roles INTERNALLY were ridiculous. Lets say you're in a role you can't see yourself in but still want to grow with the company, Lets say you've maybe been struggling with being happy in your job- this has resulted in low productivity but you've been keeping leadership the loop but you get placed on a PIP. There goes your chance of switching roles for a WHILE- by the time you're off the PIP and eligible to apply- you've had already left and found another position, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID AND IM GRATEFUL FOR IT.
