Pros

At this point, absolutely none.

Cons

The CEO is a liar. There were company layoffs earlier this year. The CEO, during a company-wide meeting after said "There will be no more layoffs." That was a clear lie as there were just a couple of people who were "let go" and there is no way it was related to performance. The company also steals from their employees. They overwork and underpay them. Here is a quote said by the Chief People Officer during a meeting with all of the company's people managers. "The days of a 9 to 5 workday is a thing of the past." This implies that you will be working much more than 40 hours, which if you speak to anyone not hourly, is true. If that is the case, how about all of the salaried employees be converted to hourly. Then the company can pay me double for the time I put in to do my job. Lastly, we have two offices in Massachusetts, recently opened an office in Canada...for what? The company has to lay off people. A bunch of people aren't being funded for a merit pay increase this year because the company is doing so poorly financially. WHAT IS THE POINT!

Pros

Good work life balance. This is not a job I think about at the end of the day or on weekends. Decent PTO/SST time accrual for hourly full time employees. Encouraged to use PTO/SST (as long as following company policy) Somehow, the best people work here. I like everyone I've met at the company.

Cons

Most recent acquisition is rocky- NewFold is picking apart CTCT, taking the best pieces with them and leaving CTCT leadership to try to fill the gaps. Product changes are not well communicated to customers, and there is not a lot of support (outside of a release training) for agents troubleshooting the changes. Sometimes it is hard to tow the company line. NO merit or cost of living raises in 2020, despite CTCT having a very profitable year. When asked about raises/compensation/benefits for 2021 to retain employees at June's all hands meeting, CEO said he would not answer questions that were "negative" and "rude". Any attempts at asking those types of questions again have been ignored by leadership in all hands meetings since. Customers are sometimes VERY abusive to support agents. And there is no system to protect agents from this abuse.

Pros

Pay is fair, benefits are okay. Most PTO I have ever been offered in the workplace.

Cons

Since we were bought out, the company has really gone down hill. The attrition is so terrible, any time we get a new round of new hires, they are mostly gone before the next class. We are labeled as customer service, but really we are sales people but without the commission. Upper management has lost touch with what is actually going on in support. They had no idea their middle management wasn't supporting their teams until they had an interview process recently. The culture used to be great but now everyone seems to hate their jobs and a lot of people have started on meds for anxiety.
