Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and for being a Cortlandian for 5 years. We’re happy to hear that you have enjoyed that time and have found the benefits to be great. We ask that associates be in the office at least 4 days a week to better facilitate teamwork amongst CSC teams and to support the onsite teams for whom working from home is not an option by nature of their job. If you would like to discuss these concerns in more detail, please feel free to reach out at david.cypher@cortland.com. -David C., EVP of Asset Management Accounting

Pros

There are no pros at all

Cons

The managers in the finance department are bullies. They actively talk badly about other employees in their teams and in other finance teams. They will never come to you directly with a problem they will just bad mouth you to other members of the team. Absolute bullies my only guess is they are miserable and have nothing going on in their lives. Entirely understaffed and employees are left to deal with the mess they have created
