Pros

I met a few people in the department who were kind and slowly began helping me even though it was definitely not their job to do so. I hear great things about Health Check.

Cons

Where to begin...no training, no guidance. If you're looking to sit at a desk confused all day then definitely apply. As other reviews have noted, it's a boys club. You frequently see men hanging in the manager's office, laughing and chatting. Many of them had a very "you're inferior to me" complex, which made the few meetings the department did have and their get togethers awkward and cliquey. My supervisor was worthless and made no effort to get to know me, let alone train me. I could tell after the first day (and later told by other employees with similar situations) that the supervisor didn't like me. I spoke to multiple higher ups about my situation to no avail. The good employees they do have who were willing to help me were not appreciated like they should be. C&B seems to be attempting to hire faster and more people to get their numbers up without thinking that they have to actually train the people they hire. I left voluntarily because I felt like I was wasting my time and the four years I spent working hard in college. Just a very sad and stressful experience overall.
