Pros

Berkshire Hathaway Company; Decent Opportunity for Growth (if you're Caucasian and balding); Solid Benefits Package

Cons

I would liken CORT to the modern Mafia. The CEO is the "Boss", the COO is the "Underboss", the Executive Leadership team are known as the "Capos" and then all the other Managers that kiss the butts of those above them are the "Soldiers". If you dare go against Leadership, you are ex-communicated and "voted off the island". Most of the District General Managers and above are arrogant, egotistical and modern-day "Slave Drivers". The overall culture sucks and you'll only get promoted if you're in the "Boy's Club" - Male, over 50, caucasian and balding.

Pros

The furniture made is often of good quality

Cons

At the Las Vegas corporate office, there is often allot of unprofessional and unethical behavior exhibited by some staff. Allot of management lie, many do not follow up on anything and they use punitive punishment against people who make complaints that they don't like. I was subject to puerile attempts at harassment for complaining about issues that were straight down the line black and white as being not workplace appropriate. They were dishonest about career progression opportunities and timeframes Their onsite HR is ineffective , they do not attempt to fairly arbitrate any dispute or enforce minimal standards of professional workplace norms; they often regurgitate and parrot whatever management advises. In the corporate office some managers behaved in a manner more appropriate to a playground than a corporate office. I had issues where confidential complaints I made were verbally told to the people being complained about; meetings were sometimes deliberately held where the complainee was able to hear what was being said. Las Vegas office has a culture of entrenched cronyism. There was also an absurd level of PC surveillance and remote monitoring, resulting in files getting mixed up and needed workplace apps not working or breaking down. Epithets; aggressive and unhelpful staff; some staff regularly engaged in obnoxious workplace behaviors because it was tolerated and at times encouraged. If you opt to work here, expect a very low bar as the norms of proprietary; and ethicality are barely existent.
