Pros

There's a mix of people internally they're all friendly. You can bring your dog to work. The office is in a good location, close to lunch spots, starbucks, and a gym.

Cons

The hiring process is poorly thought out and thats quickly reflected among the staff. Its a chop shop. The CEO is in charge of hiring, and since they don't have a good idea what talent they need they throw people against the wall to see what sticks. I was hired on and the 3-4 other people during my 4 month period were all fired as well. She'll claim you didn't "get it." But that's not true. She tells you what she thinks an idea for the job will be then you're left with no resources and guidance. The owners live in Colorado so they don't provide any insight or help to employees ramping up. Its a recipe for a disaster. If you are seriously considering the job, here's a few things to consider. 1. Dig in to your exact job details. Ask questions about your day to day. Please make sure they can justify a full time job out of what they're proposing. 2. What are they trying to solve? Do they know the real issue? Are you a real candidate for the position? They have a losing streak of poorly assessing talent. Don't be a victim. 3. Negotiate money up front. They're going to low ball, the benefits are expensive, no stock options, no matching 401, but they do offer you snacks. 4. Culture there is horrible too. Ask to speak to someone who's been there under a year or under 6 months during your interview process. Don't take my word for it, actually speak to reps or find people that worked there in the past on linkedin. They take care of their circle and everyone else is left on the outside. Some people there are just aren't recognized at all, its weird. They've been there for over a year and its like no talks to them. The owners put everyone at an arms distance because its not worth spending the time to treat you as humans/employees bc frankly they know, you probably won't be there that long. They know its a chop shop which is why you'll be hired as a contractor. Its less paperwork for them if you don't make it. Think about that.

Thank you for taking the time to write this very thoughtful review. A lot of your suggestions has been taken into consideration. We have a full time HR team onsite that is making sure all of our new hires are set with the needed tools to hit the ground running. As well as we now have a complete awesome management team in charge of guiding their new hires through the training process. With rapid growth comes big changes and adaptations and it sounds like you got caught in between. As you must know our expectations are always high and we have a very rapid pace workflow, for which our employees are and must always be up to the task and ready to go.. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

The people here are wonderful.

Cons

The leadership team saw they could save money by moving us from Slack to Teams. I'm sure this looks great on a financial statement but in practice this transition has been a disaster. Slack was not just a messaging platform for us. Slack held crucial information going back a decade, a portion of which cannot be migrated over to Teams. This vendor who said they'd move stuff obviously overpromised and underdelivered. Since moving to teams all of our jobs have gotten harder. Slack was a core part of this companys cultural identity and it was ripped away to save a couple bucks while it was replaced with an inferior platform. A lot of people across departments feel this way but nobody wants to speak up because the job market is what it is. I am challenging leadership to send out a company wide anonymous survey on this topic. Central Reach has no problem sending out surveys when an award is on the line. I want to see the same thing here.

Hi There. As a follow up to the email our COO sent late yesterday, I wanted to acknowledge your frustration and apologize for any disruption the transition from Slack to Teams has caused you and the rest of the CentralReach team. The intent behind the transition was to improve collaboration and streamline communication under one integrated platform. As you are aware, we are working to resolve any outstanding issues and I encourage you to speak with your manager or our COO directly about any missing data that is impacting your productivity during the day.
