Pros

Gift card at Christmas, casual dress, departmental parties

Cons

Small company with limited opportunity. Not a bad first/starter job, but it's low starting pay and not much growth potential. In many ways the company is a clique, which is unsettling at times. Seems everyone knew someone before they started work at COCC, and seeing someone who is not deserving get hired in your department because of a " connection" is dispiriting. It's also tough to swallow working for a manger when you have more experience and a stronger resume

In our most recent workplace survey, so many employees indicated that they “believe that COCC operates by strong values and ethics” that we exceeded the national benchmark by a whopping 18%! We’re proud that our employees believe that our values and ethics are strong, and it’s those employees who embrace and live by our values who make COCC one of the top places to work in Connecticut. Like any other company, it’s not quite feasible to promote every employee, but we have recently stepped up our process for helping employees grow their careers. Many COCC employees have enjoyed the opportunity to explore new roles, take on new projects, take additional trainings, and find any number of other ways to expand their skills and career.

Pros

On site parking, casual dress

Cons

Unfortunately not much room to grow internally. Many of the positions are entry level and require minimal training, and many of the jobs go to someone with some sort of family connection. Most companies have an anti-nepotism policy, COCC encourages it. Another Con is really low pay coming in the door, raises are very minimal as well. COCC offers a starter type of job, but not a place you can/will make a career. No surprise they have high turnover and are constantly hiring

COCC has a strong employee referral program – in fact, most of our new hires in the past several years have been referred by current employees. Our employees love working here and love referring their friends and family to a company that has been named a Top Workplace for eight years in a row. Our clients love us too – that’s why we are growing! We have a lot of great career opportunities available – ranging from entry level to highly experienced – because we’re working hard to meet our clients’ growing needs. We love working with people who embrace our culture, and it’s our culture that is helping us win new clients and new awards across the region!
