Pros

Since you will be severely overworked doing the job of several people, you will gain an entire lifetime of experience in a short period of time. But seriously, don’t do it. This place is a circus.

Cons

Absolutely toxic environment. Work-life balance does not exist. It’s a running joke how you will never be caught up or not be stressed. In team meetings you will hear the silence of employees who have been beaten down with nothing left to give. You’ll be told to prioritize but in the same breathe will be given more non-negotiable, competing goals. You will be pushed to your breaking point and then be assigned even more duties. You will hear about record sales and large bonuses while you’re stuck working 10+ hour days, drowning in the changing weekly goals, all while they deny requests for additional staff to deliver on the ever-increasing workload. You will be laughed at when you are stressed, bullied into decisions and additional work, and will receive “meeting expectations” at the end of the year so that your raise doesn’t break their budget. You will feel like you are constantly failing because you will never be given the support you need to actually succeed.

Pros

Great people! Great Leadership! You'll really feel appreciated in the work you do!

Cons

Pay could use a bump, but its government so you won't be closing a bunch of $100k+ deals.

Pros

The actual people I was working with directly were wonderful. This company originally had a really great culture, and at the ground level, it still seems to have really great people working there. My department was the least toxic workplace I have ever seen. Unfortunately, that good culture and good values does not seem to be common the higher up you go in the chain of command.

Cons

CP's upper management is currently driving the company straight into the ground. They've been acquiring company after company without bothering to maintain the quality of any of them, including CP's own original products and services. They are working their employees as hard as possible, with as little compensation and support as possible. They want to squeeze the most money out of everything without putting anything back into it. I expect this company to collapse entirely within ten years at the most. The pay is well below industry averages, and people who actually verbalize that get laid off. They did months and months of employee satisfaction surveys that satisfaction statistics of below 20% on the subject of pay and they did absolutely nothing about it. Lay-offs are becoming more and more common and are done without any warning or any consideration for how it will affect the departments who are losing staff. Upper management is beginning to look more and more greedy, short-sighted, and vindictive.
