Pros

Listen, people at the operations level are amazing. They are hard workers and they love what they do or else they would be taking a higher paying job somewhere else. The interpersonal connections I made were the highlight of my workdays. The benefits are pretty good, not going to lie. I love the educational reimbursement program. I wish there was more emphasis on this aspect at an informal level.

Cons

CRDF has a huge executive management problem. The turnover is high because the company drives away its competent workers by stretching them thin rather than promoting them, investing in them, and encouraging them. When they see someone doing well, they break them. If management was more interested in supporting their workers and less interested in sucking them dry, this place might actually have a chance at keeping its employees for longer than a year or two. Unfortunately, upper management has created new positions for itself, I'm honestly not sure what they even do?? seems like they just like to pat themselves on the back for doing a very poopy job (won't let me say sh!T !!!)
