Cottingham & Butler reviews

Compensation is well below market averages. Benefits are subpar to average. Company focuses SOOOO much on rewarding the sales team, the service team always felt neglected. Even if you had amazing client retention, the company would give you maybe a small bonus (like <$2K annually) or a $25 gift card. So miniscule compared to the sales commissions, sales award ceremonies and trips. I worked 50-60+ hours per week on the service team, and would see sales guys putting in hardly 40 hours per week making 5x+ as much. So frustrating. The lack of diversity at the company is shocking too, and when I was at the company there was 0 focus on DEI initiatives.

Unless you are in sales, you make squat. Your health insurance is a high deductible plan that you pay out the nose for (Even though you are working for your own insurance company!) and those making $30k a year were paying the same rates as those making $100k plus a year. I was efficient so I was given so much to do that I burned out within 3 years. It is nice to be told constantly that they only hire the best, but put some money where your mouth is. Also, learn what work/personal life balance is. There was NONE in the 3 years I worked there. I worked constantly, night and weekends as well as days.
