Pros

There are tiny, monthly financial incentives available to earn at each branch and a nice gift card holiday bonus at the end of the year.

Cons

This company is run by people who are bizarrely full of themselves and think they run the greatest company on earth. Spoiler: they do not. They claim to be a great "people company" yet nobody will *ever* talk to you about your career path. They will never learn about your skills or what else you have to offer. Therefore, there is no such thing as personal growth, let alone a raise. The CEO—who claims to be such a business guru he's writing a book to teach the world how to be as great as him—wanted a co-worker to take on more responsibility but was actually *offended* when that co-worker asked for more pay to go with that added responsibility. They claim to welcome feedback and have an open door policy, but I watched the CEO use company-wide "town hall" video streams to tell everyone why the answer is "no" to every suggestion they receive (wow, really inspiring!) and publicly call out employees for daring to take advantage of the open door policy. Hilariously, right after publicly shaming one co-worker, the CEO preached about needing to trust each other. Self-awareness is completely absent here as, unsurprisingly, the CEO surrounds himself with a "leadership" team that are equally out-of-touch. My single favorite moment was hearing the CEO actually interrupt a business presentation to say, "I don't get it, I'm never going to get it, but go ahead and explain it to me—I'm open-minded." Classic! Look, if you want a job as an A/V integration worker drone with no ambition to ever move up, grow or earn more money someday, then working here is probably great. Those are exactly the kind of people that will fit right into the CTI culture. Otherwise, prepare for career stagnation and endless frustration in a company that understands their bottom line very well but has no clue how to deal with people.

Pros

Fun team and culture. You can learn a lot from the team around you. Management checks in and seems to care about continued learning opportunities.

Cons

No longer hybrid and back to the office this year.

Pros

The team I worked with was very skilled and we all worked well together, I made a lot of friends while working here.

Cons

I'll list out the cons as bullet points to make things simpler: - I started this position with it being fully hybrid, and worked that way with no issues for over a year. In Jan of 2026 the CEO announced everyone needed to return to office full time; however, this involved many exceptions. Much of management was able to stay fully remote, and many of my colleagues that were at the same level, or junior to me; but closer connected to the CEO/management were permitted to keep their hybrid or remote schedules. - The CMO has no marketing experience, while also being not very open to the suggestions of people he hires that do have marketing experience. - There were multiple people who reported the CMO for harassment to HR and nothing was done, one employee was fired shortly after the report was made, and four people quit after that. -It is definitely a 'boys club' environment, myself and other female employees were told to smile, accused of gossiping and reprimanded for discussing our wages. -High turnover: a total of 9 people were either fired or quit the marketing team in the 2 years that I have worked here. -Only 6 out of 13 federal holidays are given off. The time between Jan 1 and May 25 there are no holidays given by CTI, the reasoning was that the clients/partners don't take those days off; however, most people that we schedule outside meetings with will not accept meetings requested on those holidays due to being out of office. -Your PTO is not actually owned by you until the end of the fiscal year, so if you quit after using all of it before that time, you will be asked to pay it back. - The office flooded multiple times with mysterious water from the men's bathroom and the carpet was never replaced so there is a bit of a smell. - After the return to office mandate, there were multiple people that would keep tabs on me and my teammates to see when we arrived/left, and what we were doing, despite no delays in our work or any other problems.
