Great Career For The Self-Motivated - But Not For Everyone - Benefits Consultant Cottingham & Butler Employee Review

5.0

Pros

All the things a self-motivated and driven person could ask for - autonomy, complex subject matter, dramatic growth potential, and the ability to do things you are most passionate about. The company offers a wide array of career paths, some unknown, but for those embracing challenge this is the job!

Cons

Being new to the company is tough, as they probably are not as honest about how hard it is to become successful. In all honesty, the first year or two sucks, which is why C&B is not for the average joe. Training and onboarding are far from perfect, and candidly the company likes people that are out to "figure it out". It sounds crass, but it is actually a great way to figure things out for those with the right mindset. The company is trying to improve with some structure around new employees, but this is a constant struggle for those that are sold a well-structured onboarding experience.
