Pros

• Work from home that doesn't feel like work from home: We do an excellent job making work at home feel like working with people in the office! It really is the best of both worlds; the independence and space of remote work with GREAT people to work with. It's a great Zoom / Slack culture. • Clear pathways for success: There's nothing worse than feeling like you have no idea what to do to succeed. At CTC, our managers make our metrics for success VERY clear. • Supportive Management Teams: Management is committed to seeing us succeed and develop and make themselves available to us in pursuit of that. • TMYD: Tell Me Your Dreams sounded too good to be true, but it really is incredible. We give every employee a 1-hour counseling session to uncover our dreams and work with them to help us develop them. It's better than I'm making it sound. • VERY generous benefits; 4 weeks paid vacation, end of the year break, GREAT health inusrance options, 401k, life insurance, etc.

Cons

• No physical office option at the moment; but honestly to point 1, we do a great job making it feel like a fun place to work. • Company is evolving; so there are some processes and systems that are still being worked out, but they're in active development. • Nothing really more to talk about here, CTC is awesome!

Pros

Some cool creative employees Good PTO, if you can use it. Always too much work to take PTO

Cons

- Zero work life balance (massively overworked) - Broken promises - Leadership offers to help but is quick to point the finger - Not every idea leadership comes up with is a good idea - Low pay for "junior" employees - No team support when wanting to take PTO - Bonus structure is designed for top employees, not lower level staff - Personal goals are unobtainable - Told to write good reviews - Too many leaders with no one leading - Hiring process is too long - Looks shiny and cool from the outside, but it's not that at all

We appreciate your feedback and especially candor on work life balance. 2019 was undoubtedly a learning year for CTC and with that comes change. Your experience through our change was turbulent at best, trust when I say that is far from what we strive for. We aim for transparency at company wide meetings and financial responsibilities should have been clearly connected to what that meant for our employees. Our hope — thanks to responses like yours — is to never mislead where we are and where we’re going again.

Given that you were part of CTC’s season of rapid growth, I want to thank you for your time, effort and interest during that period. For the lack of transparency you found in us while adjusting to our new business demands, I apologize. We strive to live into our mission and values in the day to day moments of all our entrepreneurs and constantly refining what that means and looks like. We will be taking your message with us as we continue to refine and redefine.
