Pros

None. Except your car will be safe because the parking lot is completely empty and you are in a building with no other tenants. Nobody wants to be near this place.

Cons

When I worked here I didn't wear my seat belt when driving to work, as the sweet release of being catapulted from my car would've been more enjoyable than dealing with the so called, President/CEO.

Pros

The company is growing and evolving the right way. Great people, many who have been there for years, others who joined recently. Strong culture. New leadership team, including new CEO who partners with President to promote a strong vision for C2 and its employees. Some negative reviews are simply false. The previous review by a former disgruntled recruiter ignored everything C2 and its founder did for them...including paid month-long trips to visit family overseas, work-from-home arrangements when loved ones became sick, five-figure raises on top of six-figure salaries. C2 sacrifices for its employees, and yes, it expects some respect and hard work in return. Often times employees take advantage of C2 and are quick to blame the high standards promoted by the founder, a woman who literally built the company by herself over 25 years.

Cons

Every department can benefit from better communication and stronger interpersonal skills. This is a blue chip initiative for C2 in 2019.

Pros

I can't think of one positive thing to say about this place or the CEO who is the worst micro manager in the history of Micro Management.

Cons

The CEO is not a stable minded person and her unstableness is the reason no one stays long term.

I'm sorry that you did not enjoy your tenure at C2. Your comments about the company owner are not only inaccurate, but completely unfair. C2 was started and has blossomed for the last 25 years under her leadership -- and still continues to grow today. Most of the top employees have been there for many years or decades, and they enjoy the challenge of providing world class HR services every single day. I certainly understand that our industry can be stressful and time consuming, but your personal attack against the owner over your unhappiness is inappropriate and does a disservice to the great work that C2 performs every day for its clients.
