Pluspunten

1. The company emphasizes the need for a work/life balance and they strive to allow their retention team at least to actually get to have a life outside of work. 2. The pay/benefits are decent compared to a similar agency 3. Coworkers are amazing people who strive to help whenever possible.

Minpunten

Leadership have problems with leading. Every month you hear more than once where the company is at and how to improve it. But by the end of my third month with the company, they had laid me and a large number of other employees off with no explanations, no feedback, and no time to even register the lay off before they cut off all access to systems and accounts. I was scouted away from a great job based on their promises of people first, great company values, etc. Now I’ve been unemployed for 3 weeks with no idea what comes next because their management oversold their productivity and ability to gain revenue. For a company that’s so focused on their values and employee dreams, they definitely left a good portion of us high and dry at the end of June.

Pluspunten

You will learn quick what to avoid in future companies and employees. Every role after will be a breath of fresh air.

Minpunten

CTC is a chaotic, ego-driven mess, churning and burning employees and clients. CEO Taylor Holiday is a wannabe Twitter influencer playing entrepreneur, surrounded by an inner-circle of unqualified buddies. Strategy changes constantly, positive reviews are fabricated, departments are dissolved on a whim, and layoffs are routine. CTC demands unrealistic output from overworked employees, all while preaching a fake culture of “transparency” and “work-life balance.” Transparency means hyped-up financial updates paired with weird parties and alcohol, followed immediately by entire department layoffs. Work-life balance means 60 hour work weeks with a level of micromanagement I haven’t seen before or since. Not convinced yet? Welcome to leadership meetings where no one has a plan and everyone is too afraid to say the truth. Staying close to the in-crowd matters more than results or performance because it might just keep you your job. I’ll never forget CTC’s empty promises about development and achieving dreams, all while exploiting, discarding, and abusing everyone in sight. If you value your career, mental health, or basic respect, stay far away.
