Toxic work environment

Pros

Most people at the company were hard working and were very helpful.

Cons

Where do I begin....upper management are immature they treat everyone like they are children. Management will use passive aggressive tactics to address the entire client services team and individual employees. Clearly they are surrounded by too many recent college grads which is clearly affecting the way they manage. They play favorites if you are not on their list they will make your life extremely difficult. They hire most people straight out of college which makes the working envirmonent very immature even if you have been in the workforce for a few years. C-4 is consistantly having to do 'save the client' presentations which is pretty much creating 250 slide powerpoints that the client doesn't even care for and lying about data to make it look better. The fact that they consistanly lose clients show you the lack of accounibility in the client services department. The way discipline is dolled out at C-4 is extremely unprofessional. They do not confront employees when something is wrong with their work instead they talk behind your back and basically build up a list so they can embarass you in front of other employees. A lot of the Senior Account Managers and Account Managers have way too much on their plate and have no idea how to manage anything. The reasons I have mentioned are a huge reason why C-4 is the most toxic working environment I have ever been a part of. Everyone is stressed out and miserable and they try to cover it up by having 'beer fridays' and other social events. Avoid C-4 if you can you want to be part of a company that is invested in your growth and development. Not a company that treats you based on your attractiveness or your ability to be "cool".

Pros

As I read down the list of reviews for this company, I find myself getting frustrated. Upper management has a habit of posting a few great fake reviews after every few poor ones, to give the illusion that there is a realistic ebb and flow of feelings towards C-4. As far as I'm aware, there is not. The only constant pro is that the people here are mostly hardworking, and easy to get along with. It's a generally loud and fun atmosphere, which can be a good and a bad thing. You can joke and swear and be boisterous, but with this kind of lawless environment also comes a carefree attitude regarding HR, where fellow employees can be aggressive towards each other, and no discipline will really be doled out.

Cons

If you read the reviews above and below, a lot of the positive ones will spew nonsense about how the negative reviews were written by people who can't hack the workload at C-4. This is false. I worked for this company for a long time, and I busted my butt. I worked long hours, always went the extra mile, supported my coworkers, and more. After a couple years though, those long hours and being constantly and completely inundated with an extremely heavy workload, starts to burn you out. All of a sudden, you don't like going to work anymore. In fact, you dread it. You can go in early but when you finish that days work, there's a whole new pile waiting for you. It never ends. If you're lucky enough to be one of the chosen favorites, you may catch a few breaks, but for those who go unnoticed despite years of hard work, this company is a very depressing place to be. The fake reviews written by people who "love this company" will have you believe that if you decide to move on from here, it's because you weren't strong enough to handle it, but that's a lie. Life shouldn't be all about work. A job is supposed to give your life some purpose, while supplying you with the means to enjoy it. C-4 expects your soul and more, with very little given in return. Don't be fooled. Life is a beautiful thing. Don't waste it feeling constantly stressed out, working 10 hours a day for a company whose owners do not even appreciate it.

Pros

-Excellent training out of the gate. I went through a full training curriculum. It was pretty substantial. -The company promotes from within, so I was given a great career path. -Plenty of opportunity to grow and learn within my own role. -The middle management is excellent here. I have a ton of support. -My co-workers are absolutely awesome and make coming into work every day so early. Super great bunch of people. -I work closely with a really great team who I have a lot of respect for professionally. -Upper management are serious about the company and have us going in the right direction. -The company not only delivers top-notch work to our clients, but they really care about their employees.

Cons

-We have a lot to do every day. Not everyone can hack it or keep up with it. -I don't love the open office environment, but at the same time, it's because of that environment that I love it here. -The clients are mostly automotive. So, if you don't like that industry, this is not the company for you.
