Pros

It's an exciting environment when you never know when you or your entire team will be laid off regardless of tenure or performance.

I sould have left sooner to join a company that provides actual products or services.

Pros

Teammates . Teammates. Teammates. Teammates. Teammates

Cons

After rollout of subscription plan and announcement of merger with MGH the employees are what take the hit. Incentive plans are no longer incentivizing, transparency is now a hypocritical concept and the culture that I loved has become more of a tongue in cheek concept.

Pros

I worked at CL for more than 20 years. All reviews were extremely high. These were some of the best years of my life. I built strong friendships/relationships. I built a very strong department with good work ethics.

Cons

The worker bees were never paid what they deserved. They're on the front line getting beat up, and then beaten down by their managers because they're expected to remember so much. Unfortunately, the constant reorganizations of this company hit me. I was devastated but am so glad I am no longer a part of this company.
