Common Thread Collective reviews

After the hire of a nestle corporate person into the exec team, the company spiraled. This new exec drove the good leadership out, leaving only the CEO's longtime buddies and her own yes-people in place. Horrible business decisions led to multiple rounds of layoffs, more than a few attempted in secret. Client retention is abysmal. But worse - the culture at CTC devolved into of true workplace abuse. I have witnessed open bullying, screaming at employees, and backstabbing, in addition to the various normal suckiness of a corporatey corporate environment. Clients are also allowed to treat employees however they want. I personally experienced more misogyny in my last year at CTC than in the previous many years of my career. I witnessed clients say extraordinarily racist things to employees, and not only did the exec team do nothing, they actively prevented the targeted employee from getting a new job when they found out afterwards he was looking. I think the other recent reviews speak well to the general issues of the culture at CTC. But it needs to be known that this environment has gone beyond just bad. It is not a safe environment for work anymore.

Laid off THREE WEEKS after starting here. Didn’t even finish training. It was a nightmare of an experience and mind you I was 7 month’s pregnant at the time. Do you know how fearful it is to search for a new job right before giving birth? It was a gut punch finding out as well. Zero respect to the employees. The meeting came up so last minute, and we were let go in a group setting with only 10 minutes to save any documents/contacts before slack and our computers got shut off. I’m so happy others are finally speaking the truth on their experiences because I felt bottled up about this for a while.
