Pros

Cortland is very entrepreneurial and flexible with their employee positions. It is great to come into a company that does not put you in a box, they allow and embrace differences between their employees. Collaboration and teamwork is greatly encouraged and freedom is a very strong quality of the company.

Cons

Sometimes it seems over ambitious and does not take proper time to weigh and measure pros and cons to successfully implement things.

Pros

Great team in my region and made some great and lasting friendships.

Cons

There are a lot of people showing their true colors for new positionsas the company grows. Pay not adequate for the job, no home/work life balance and my immediate manager was hard to work with. We were always reactive to most situations and everything was last minute.

Hi, there. Obviously, this was not the most fun review to read. We’re so happy that you’ve made such amazing friendships within your regional team, and this feeling of camaraderie is just one of the things that makes us a great place to work. You’re also right about the pace of our growth – growing this fast doesn’t come without some growing pains, which can often lead to feeling reactive to situations instead of being proactive. To address this, some of our company goals for the year are to create more efficiency in our processes and enhance the associate experience. Additionally, we value and practice an open-door policy when it comes to communication, so please feel free to speak up to your manager or Director of Operations when something doesn’t sit right with you – it can only make us better! You can also reach out to Talent Resources at talentresources@cortlandpartners.com or call our confidential 24/7 hotline at 1.800.461.9330.
