Pros

Working at CADY was the most fun I ever had at any job, in part because I was working in a field I loved but also because I had a phenomenal team. Coming to work was like hanging out with friends. There's also lot's of opportunities for growth, (I doubled my pay in 2 years), as long as you show dedication, competence, and are willing to learn. Lower management is amazing and wants to see you succeed.

Cons

However, at a corporate level some decisions can be confusing. When I left, we were no longer allotted hours for training days, so all training was done in the field. Extreme budget cuts were being implemented in the form of hours available to work. Note that this is a seasonal job, so if you are not a full time employee do not expect to have enough to live off of from January - June. During June - December, hours get crazy, you'll have 12 hour shifts that start at 4am. If you can't handle that, this job isn't for you. But if you can and you excel, you'll be provided with a fun workplace that will build you up.

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 The company promotes a “welcoming” culture, but in practice, it often feels performative and rooted in outdated or uncomfortable approaches.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.
