Pros
Talented and hardworking employees at all levels who are genuinely trying to keep things afloat Some flexibility depending on your team You will learn to adapt quickly
Cons
CFC has an air of instability, everyone feels slightly on edge at all times. Leadership lacks a clear strategy, direction changes frequently, and decisions are often reactive rather than considered. There is a persistent sense of crisis, with priorities shifting at the last minute and little regard for the impact on staff. Workloads are unsustainable due to chronic burnout and high turnover. Roles are regularly expanded or completely removed without additional support, compensation, or acknowledgement. Promises of improvement, resourcing, or structural change are frequently made and just as frequently abandoned. Communication is poor and inconsistent. Important information is withheld or delivered too late to be useful, and accountability rarely sits at the top. Instead, pressure is pushed downward, creating a culture of stress, blame, and burnout. There is also a large culture of secrecy, which has made trust amongst the business scarce. Rather than addressing root causes, leadership seems focused on short-term optics and what looks best for the company. Despite frequent messaging about values and culture, employee wellbeing is not prioritised in practice. The turnover in 2025 was extreme, new faces were seen every week. Pay is atrocious for the workload. CFC has potential to be a great company but has lost its way amongst the constant changes. I hope it can regain some momentum in the coming years and I wish the best for all current staff.
