Cotton reviews

The company is stuck. They operate in the dark ages and there is little advancement opportunity for anyone. A lot of internal politics and gossip to navigate and overcome, in order to succeed at the organization. There's also a lot of senior staff that cares more about their title and "respect" and less about actually doing work that will make a difference in the industry.

Nearly all of senior management has worked for the company for over 20 years and their old-school, "good ole boy" management style creates a conservative risk-averse corporate culture that feels outdated in today's world. Some examples: we get "in trouble" when we're 10 minutes late to work in the morning even though most of our work is not time-sensitive, and we're not allowed to work from home unless we have express approval by the VP of the division. Also, it's easy to get a job as an intern, but otherwise it is very difficult to advance in your career. There are extremely few advancement opportunities.
