Pros

This is without a doubt the best company I will ever work for. I had heard this place was amazing but actually being apart of it is something special. CTC's mission is to "Help entrepreneurs achieve their dreams." I remember reading that and thinking it was pretty cool but wondering how important it really was in the day-to-day. Turns out that concept drives the whole operation. It's apart of how we make decisions, how we relate to clients, and how we approach our daily task lists. Employees at CTC are all pretty genuine people that are fun to be around. The leadership team shows how much they care by taking the time out of their day to encourage you, give advice and teach you on your accounts and benefits are amazing.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any...snacks run out every once and a while...but I know they will be filled again soon ;)

Pros

You will learn quick what to avoid in future companies and employees. Every role after will be a breath of fresh air.

Cons

CTC is a chaotic, ego-driven mess, churning and burning employees and clients. CEO Taylor Holiday is a wannabe Twitter influencer playing entrepreneur, surrounded by an inner-circle of unqualified buddies. Strategy changes constantly, positive reviews are fabricated, departments are dissolved on a whim, and layoffs are routine. CTC demands unrealistic output from overworked employees, all while preaching a fake culture of “transparency” and “work-life balance.” Transparency means hyped-up financial updates paired with weird parties and alcohol, followed immediately by entire department layoffs. Work-life balance means 60 hour work weeks with a level of micromanagement I haven’t seen before or since. Not convinced yet? Welcome to leadership meetings where no one has a plan and everyone is too afraid to say the truth. Staying close to the in-crowd matters more than results or performance because it might just keep you your job. I’ll never forget CTC’s empty promises about development and achieving dreams, all while exploiting, discarding, and abusing everyone in sight. If you value your career, mental health, or basic respect, stay far away.
