Pros

Clients, some talented co-workers, casual dress.

Cons

Sadly, the review of May 23, 2018 is 200% accurate. All of the negative reviews have a common theme. Believe them!! It's interesting that most of the positive reviews are Nov-Dec 2015, it looks like it was planned.

Pros

Medical, dental and vision insurance

Cons

1. Owner is unstable as they come. She goes from pleasant to screaming in 2.3 seconds. She rules by fear. Publicly screams at employees. Highly unprofessional. She gives women in business a bad name. 2. The office consists of mostly woman who are either gossiping or being catty 3. Micromanaged to the extreme. All email and correspondence monitored, as is the time away from your desk. 4. No advancement 5. Hostile environment

I'm not sure I recognize the company you are talking about or the Owner that you are talking about. I'm an employee, and I've never had the Owner scream at me or try to intimidate me with fear. Furthermore, I know that you were not at C2 very long, but the advancement opportunities exist. Outside of the Owner (who is female), three of the other four top managers at the company are female -- and have been with C2 for many years (having been promoted along the way). Your direct supervisor when you were at C2 (who is male) has been with C2 for many years and has been promoted multiple times. Furthermore, I'm not sure how you would know anything about the Owner's personality. The Owner was not your direct supervisor; she is hardly ever in the office; and you had virtually no direct contact with her. So, I'm unclear how you could have gotten to know her well enough to comment on her personality or management style. Women have a tough enough time in the business world without other women trying to undercut them with personal, negative attacks that simply aren't true. The Owner is a strong leader with a strong personality; and I'm sorry you did not enjoy working at C2. But your mischaracterization of the Owner's demeanor and attacks on her personality are simply out of bounds.

Pros

The company has solid benefits and cares about clients.

Cons

Micromanaged, suppressive, cold.... do not take a job here if you want to work in a positive environment. Most new employees are fired or quit within 6 months. Employees are publicly screamed at by President and management.
