Pros

- ‘Customer is King!’ - Dedication to customer satisfaction and service is truly impressive in this company - Analyst recognition continues – commitment by this company to product innovation is very high - Talented colleagues who pitch in together and make the working environment highly collaborative and enjoyable for everyone - Empowering leaders who actively share feedback to ensure excellence – this is the best form of ‘on the job’ and collaborative feedback which allows employees to grow and develop in their roles – and this is done in a positive and open manner - Compensation linked to Performance: Yes, hard work is expected – but you are rewarded for your efforts - Fundamental values: Believe me; it’s rare to be in a fast-moving environment where respect & fairness is high on the agenda: this is one of the biggest selling points I would make about this company – people at all levels throughout the company are respectful of values and you will meet emotionally intelligent people - Fun: This company got its 230+ employees together in November for the 10th year company anniversary – huge investment to give back to its people – they know that great people are their most important asset. In this environment, you are able to be yourself and it’s important as one learns faster and develops his/her skills when feeling comfortable and respected.

Cons

- Sometimes there is a lack of internal resources, but the company is working to recruit many more talented people to come on board as the company continues to grow and expand - Work/life balance: Sometimes this can be challenging, no matter what role you have in the business (as the growth of this company is phenomenal), however from the CEO to local management they are constantly and proactively finding ways to foster a flexible environment.

Thanks for sharing this; it's great to hear your positive outlook on our leadership and vision as that’s something we really care about. There can be challenges that come along with acquisitions, especially when it comes to aligning products and culture. While these decisions are made to support growth and long-term success, they don’t always feel seamless in the moment. Again, I appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you all the best. -Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer

Pros

Originally, this company was very supportive. There were many layers of resources meant to make employees successful. After the purchase of the company by PE they have cut software, resources and staffing to increase profits. I would not say there are many advantages over other employers in the field today. The ability to work from home is a pro. Complexity of the software is a pro because the work isn't boring. There's always something to learn.

Cons

- no real path to advancement, Cornerstone used to promote from within, over the past several years the majority of hired have been external - management cares a lot about stats but doesn't care to educate employees on how to meet those expectations. Ex. If a employee gets a negative survey it isn't reviewed and strategies aren't shared for improvement. If an issue goes on longer than expected and it puts employees out of compliance with the resolution time standard, employees are told to fix it with no strategies for doing so. There is no analysis of issues. One caveat: my team has a new manager so there is a possibility that things will improve; however the directives come from the top down, so upper management still has a problematic philosophy.
