Pros

The corporate office’s effort to organize some lighthearted social activities in the work day is wholehearted and nice.

Cons

The top two IT “leaders” (a misapplied term here) are gravely inappropriate, inadequate, and problematic. Their combined shortcomings reflect a clear inability to lead effectively, and their fragile egos are offended by even the mildest feedback, resulting in targeted bullying. Since the appointment of the current head of IT, turnover has reached approx. 50% within 3.5 years, including many cases of wrongful terminations and constructive dismissals. It seems the C-suite prioritized DEI factors over qualifications when selecting this individual, whose leadership style is marked by excessive micromanagement and erratic mood swings. To make it all worse, the organization lacks advocates for employees subjected to these profoundly unacceptable behaviors.

Pros

CC Uses cutting-edge Technologies, which is good experience for resume building; many of the Teams are collaborative; interesting work and you can believe in company goals.

Cons

Director and Manager level mgmt at corporate here do not provide guidance on projects. There is a lot of turnover on data projects because new employees are thrown into the deep end and then just blamed if results are not as expected. CC really needs more hands-on project oversight. There are also behavioral and anger issues with a couple long-time ppl as well, and this is both exhausting and (sometimes) outright humiliating. They need to treat new people better.
