Pros

I can't think of one positive thing to say about this place or the CEO who is the worst micro manager in the history of Micro Management.

Cons

The CEO is not a stable minded person and her unstableness is the reason no one stays long term.

C2 Essentials Response

I'm sorry that you did not enjoy your tenure at C2. Your comments about the company owner are not only inaccurate, but completely unfair. C2 was started and has blossomed for the last 25 years under her leadership -- and still continues to grow today. Most of the top employees have been there for many years or decades, and they enjoy the challenge of providing world class HR services every single day. I certainly understand that our industry can be stressful and time consuming, but your personal attack against the owner over your unhappiness is inappropriate and does a disservice to the great work that C2 performs every day for its clients.

Pros

I interned at C2 last summer and the internship gave me exposure to both operational and creative sides of the business. I started in payroll and finance, which helped me understand how detailed and compliance-focused the company is. Later, I transitioned into marketing and even got to contribute ideas and input on the new website design. It was really rewarding to see suggestions I made actually implemented. I felt like part of the team, not just an observer. The experience gave me practical skills and confidence that helped me secure other positions afterward. C2 does a great job preparing interns for the real world and a lot of the things I learned last summer I am know using in my new role.

Cons

There’s a learning curve with systems and processes, especially in payroll/finance.

Pros

I came into C2 with a strong HR foundation, but I learned more in five years here than I expected. The environment is fast-paced and client-focused, so you quickly build problem-solving, compliance, and communication skills. There’s always room to grow and learn something new. No two days are the same. You’re trusted with real responsibility, which helps you develop quickly. The best part was the team, incredibly supportive, collaborative, and always willing to jump in to help. That made even the busiest days enjoyable.

Cons

Workloads can get heavy during peak times, so strong organization skills are a must.
