Pros

Nice if you're struggling to find work and they'll take you. Good benefits. Stock awards are great if you plan on staying at CHR for about 10 years. Exec team is solid, although their concern rarely falls on employee satisfaction or competitive salaries. Good for entry level work. After two years though, best to get out and move on asap.

Cons

Low pay. Sales is tough because of the account rules. Raises are all growth based so if the branch isn't ahead, then the employees get jobbed really bad. Often times management fail to recognize high caliber employees and instead promote/ give raises bases on old boy network. No room for growth... Positions within office are made up to make people think they are moving ahead. Management is usually out of it and don't know what's going on in the industry. Oh and the salary is usually horrible. This place is a job, not a career. Unless you have no ambition or unless you dedicate most of your time to brown nosing, not generating business. CH's sole dedication is to the stock price and that's all. Any appearance of concern for employee happiness is a joke.

Pros

Not much that I can think of, would say its decent pay but they move the goal posts on goals every year so once you get comfortable with your goals and achieving your target to them hitting the reset button and back to square one

Cons

The culture has shifted in a very negative direction. Top performers can still feel boxed in by limited growth opportunities, changing expectations, and compensation structures that do not always reflect actual performance. There is a heavy focus on control, office attendance, and short-term metrics, while trust and morale continue to decline. It can feel political, exhausting, and disconnected from the people actually driving results. Very toxic for capacity reps, they do everything wrong and contstantly are the whipping posts for commercial teams who are always in the right
