Pros

Unlimited PTO, great benefits, flexible work locations

Cons

Opportunities for growth is limited, D.E.I initiatives seem to be for show, P.O.C are not valued as much as white counterparts, mangers are not adequately trained, lots of unrest within the company right now, Most mid-level managers are inadequately trained to work effectively with their subordinates.

Good company losing its way

Pros

Good culture and benefits. Executive leadership seems to care about its employees. Very understanding of family and life events. Does seem to care about its customer base and helping educators.

Cons

Could not recommend this as a place to work now. Too many big lies have happened. The company for years was sold as a place that was going to stay independently owned . Yet, as soon as the former owner retired we were sold within a year. Additionally, other departments can have a major influence on your review, even overriding your own manager, causing reviews to be given which are not entirely fair and extremely one sided. This affects your bonus and yearly raise, and working hard seems to matter very little if someone in another department dislikes you, but will not talk to you about it. You find out about your problems at your review with no warning or ability to respond or course correct, if they exist at all. The company positively reinforces bad behavior by promoting individuals who are toxic and also bad leaders. As long as results are done, and other trampled over, that’s all that matters. Lastly, the company just seems to be becoming a bit of a cult. They think they are so great and amazing, but really they are just another place to work. It’s sad to see CA come to this as I did Love this company. They are slowly losing their head and soul and overtime this will lead to unhappiness, mismanagement and bloat.

We're sorry to read that CA wasn't the best professional fit for you. It sounds like you experienced a uniquely unfortunate situation that cannot be resolved on an anonymous forum like Glassdoor. As a company that values and invites critique and input from employees at every level of the organization, we greatly appreciate you sharing your feedback with CA as it will allow us to continually improve. - Shrina
