Great Culture, Poor Flexibility

Anonymous employee

Pros

The team in the Atlanta CSC is amazing - the culture, in my experience, is open, honest, and positive. There's a feeling that everyone is giving their best, which makes getting things done much more enjoyable. I don't ever feel like I'm doing busywork or working without a shared goal in mind.

Cons

There is no work from home and no option to telecommute, so no ability to schedule a regular work from home day. This would be frustrating anywhere, but traffic in Atlanta is a nightmare - even people that live within 10 miles of the office can spend more an hour and a half commuting every day. A policy this inflexible makes work-life balance more difficult to achieve. I really wish I had a day to work from home each week - instead of a quick walk around the office or to the kitchen to grab coffee when I need a break, I could throw laundry in the dryer, start meal prep, or spend 5-10 minutes picking up after kids. Little breaks that would make a real difference in my stress level day to day. And that's not to mention the benefits of skipping a day in traffic! I do love my colleagues and the day to day at Cortland, though! Not every company is going to be flexible and that's okay. But flexibility/work from home policy is the thing I'd change if I could.

Hello! Our culture is something we’re very proud of, and we’re glad you think it‘s as great as we do. We want our work environment to be a place where associates feel comfortable, inspired, and passionate about what they’re doing. We’re always searching for ways to be better, and suggestions are most certainly welcome. As we evolve, a working from home policy could be a future possibility. We try to be flexible with our associates and mindful of personal situations – so please reach out to your supervisor and discuss any concerns to figure out a solution that works best for you! #GrowTogetherAndPlayAsATeam
