Pros

Cares for employees, their families and the community; fair pay and benefits. For the most part, this was the best job I had

Cons

The biggest problem is the lack of communication. Communication stops at the executive level. It goes up to them and down to them. Most things don't go any farther. So the "worker bees" never really know what is going on, including the impact on their jobs. They find out at the last minute and have to scramble instead of being aware at the beginning and having the ability to prepare. Politics have gotten worse. It is really sad, because David doesn't realize. David and his predecessor Edmundo, really have an open door policy. They take the time to talk to whomever comes by.

Pros

I've been with the organization for roughly three years. During that time, I've experienced a change in Executive Leadership, a reorganization of different programs/departments, and changes in funding for some areas. The transparent communication of the new Exec. Leadership team has been a welcomed and long needed change. The flexibility that I'm given surrounding my work schedule has been a life changer and has made me more productive than I've ever been.

Cons

I can't immediately think of anything that is a CPLC only problem.

Pros

Good family community, good pay

Cons

Too much stress, bad management, no help when needed, the whole CORE IQ is fake, no one takes ownership of their mistakes and responsibilities, and if someone does try to feel a little empoweredthey are brought down and an HR ticket is submitted! Too much favoritism, and gossip by management
