Ignore the fake 5 star reviews - Anonymous employee Cortland Employee Review

I wish I could have put a mirror in front of almost every corporate office associate when I was there. Simple as that. Almost everyone who is tenured at Cortland is overly formal and plastic for no reason. I really don't know what secret cult is that is being worshipped amongst the "senior" associates but it was quite an eye-opening experience. They look to recruit for the high school social butterfly personality regardless of age... It is like walking on eggshells around many tenured associates. There is too much hostile gossip. Corporate associates would severely stick out like a sore thumb in almost any other environment. I have now worked for 3 different industries and have met with people from many walks of life since being at Cortland. This was the most toxic place I have ever worked for AND it was for no reason because the work was not demanding or complex AT ALL. They are all talk. That is the work that gets done. Fitting in a high school clique when you are 40 years old. I don't get it. No transferable skills from being here other than taking slack and learning how to build stamina when dealing with crazy people.
