C2 is a stepping stone

Pros

Casual attire is allowed. Onsite parties and occasional catered lunches. Many co-workers are nice.. C2 is a good stepping stone to learn more about the HR profession and ASO/PEO.

Cons

-Extremely high turnover. Many new employees are either fired or quit in the first few weeks or months. -Micromanagement. There's not much autonomy, and there are lots of forms to fill out. Computers and email are monitored. Time sheets are scrutinized (even if you're salaried). Work schedules are rigid. Employees whereabouts are tracked. -No reviews and little room for advancement. It's strange that an HR company doesn't formally review employee performance. Accomplishments aren't given much praise (such as bonuses or merit increases). It is very difficult to get an independent raise or advance in the company. -Intimidating work environment. You have to have a thick skin to make it here. Don't speak unless spoken to, don't make eye contact.

High integrity and strong character describes C2

Pros

I have been with C2 for going on 6 years. Everyday confirms the reason I came to C2....high integrity, strong character and very ethical. C2 is extremely customer focused and committed to doing the right thing. The CEO is very generous and has helped many employees in their time of need. She cares about every single employee. It's no surprise the number of staff that have been at C2 for quite some time.

Cons

We need a bigger kitchen to accommodate the staff for all of the parties and for when they bring lunch in for us.

Pros

great place to work! A lot of promotions from within, good pay, flex schedules, fun atmosphere. A lot of employees have been here more than 5 and 7 years which speaks for itself :) Very focused on what is best for both clients and employees.

Cons

only if a fast paced environment is not for you, you will drown.
