Thank you for your feedback and I am happy to hear you like our paid time off program and your colleagues. We work to encourage an environment where our employees feel comfortable bringing concerns and needs to their managers - happy to see that is benefiting you. CHA is very much on a significant growth trajectory. Expanding means growing our business both internally as well as acquiring new businesses and expanding our markets and geographies. Growth benefits everyone, including you and your colleagues. I understand that it may be difficult to see that in the immediate, but give it some time and you to will reap the benefits of CHA's growth. Our growth has benefited your colleagues through promotions or new and different work all together; some have been able to relocate to area of the country they prefer more. There is so much to offer when a business is healthy and growing. As for turnover, all businesses - no matter what industry, are experiencing higher than normal turnover right now. Like it or not, the pandemic has impacted every industry and every sector of our economy - in fact it's impacted every person in some significant way. CHA has always enjoyed turnover lower that the industry average and that still holds true today, despite navigating a global pandemic. I believe that is because we have an excellent culture that rewards people who give it their all, and provides our employees the opportunity to work on exciting projects with experts in the industry. I am open to discussing your concerns one on one; reach out to me and let's have a conversation about your concerns. While I believe CHA is a wonderful company for our employees, I'm always open to good feedback that can be used to make things even better for you and your colleagues.

Pros

Seeing a pattern of addressing only the pros and rarely having any accountibiloty to comments in Cons section, Pros will not be listed here.

Cons

-Hyper critical work culture to point that compromises employee personal and office morale -Almost no field support and field between on-site field team is almost impossible -Field supervisors are spread very thin in responsibility which causes the above issues -Employee personal dislikes are apparent on teams which lead to discordant team dynamics. Ex. Team member will laugh and joke with some team members, but other get professional, but near frigid responses. -Favoritism is rampant creating a less than ideal work environment.
