Pros

The photographers in the studio are really nice. You have the opportunity to go on the yearly NYC trip. That's really it.

Cons

Extremely unorganized company resulting in huge amounts of stress and anxiety. Leadership has no formal education and no real-life business experience. Leadership decisions are made on a whim based on personal feelings and ego, not on actual calculated data (which is all wrong anyways). Challenge and question unreasonable decisions made by leadership and get fired, or be a puppet and just sit down and do what you're told. Take your pick. There are constant lies, finger pointing and secrets within the leadership team. Projects never get completed or are halfway done because the departments don't get along. No one communicates properly. There is absolutely no sense to the madness. If you are a well educated individual like myself with a desire to learn and grow with the help and mentorship from your leaders, then do not work here. I do not foresee the company lasting much longer.

Pros

Great stepping stone to something better.

Cons

CADY appears to be led by individuals who lack a clear understanding of how to effectively run a business. The company promotes a “welcoming” culture, but in practice, it often feels performative and rooted in outdated or uncomfortable approaches. The environment within the Innovation Center is consistently tense. Teams frequently experience internal friction, and HR maintains a highly visible presence that can feel more like surveillance than support. In October 2025, Josh Cady abruptly eliminated the work-from-home policy with no transition period. This decision left many employees scrambling to adjust, particularly those who relied on remote flexibility for childcare and other responsibilities. The PTO policy is notably limited for a company of this size, and the absence of dedicated sick days only adds to employee strain. Removing remote work mid-year, while offering minimal time off, reflects a lack of consideration for employee well-being. Daily interactions can also feel forced. For example, employees are greeted each morning by HR in a way that often comes across as insincere rather than welcoming. Overall, CADY feels disorganized, undercompensates its employees, and provides minimal benefits, contributing to a challenging and unsupportive work environment.
