Pros

Great company that have awesome values.

Cons

If your single the insurance is great, but if you have kids that get sick, forget it. It is way too expensive. Great company but not so great insurance.

Pros

I love the people I work with as well as my regional managers. The pay and benefits are great. The environment is always full of good energy. I don't have much bad things to say.

Cons

I have tried to move up in the company for a while now and it doesn't seem to help. I had interviews with corporate for higher positions but they never reach back out to you.

Pros

I have absolutely loved working for this company for the most part, my management team is the best I have ever worked for. I love being able to help people find a place to call home, and the events are wonderful, from Cortland Commitment day, to the Christmas party, to our most recent Thrive challenge that allowed us to come together as a team!

Cons

As I mentioned above, I have loved it for the most part. The recent change in hours has left me with little to no work/life balance. A company that supports a healthy lifestyle should realize that having your employees work until 8:00PM every week night with only one weekend off a month leaves you with no time for friends, or family. I used to be in a kickball leage, and volleyball, however with the recent change in work hours I can no longer partake in these activities, or even all the wonderful things to do around Charlotte such as alive after 5, RiverJam, or the multiple concerts that I get to tell all of my future residents about but I will no longer be able to attend.

We are thrilled that you have enjoyed your experience at Cortland and that you bond so well with your team! We appreciate your feedback on the new work hours. We decided to extend the hours so we could better accommodate our residents during the time they are home. Since we added part-time associates, there is the ability to stagger work hours. We do support all associates finding the right work schedule that blends well with their personal life. If you would like to continue this conversation, please reach out to our EVP of Operations, Melanie French. She would be happy to discuss with you over the phone. Again, thank you for this constructive feedback!
