Pros

You learn about the kind of place you don’t want to work and the kind of boss you don’t want to be!

Cons

Very low pay, very high turn over, poor leadership, poor internal HR , cultish type culture, constantly losing accounts and laying off staff. Just lost Ascension due to poor performance and breach of contract. Huge loss......they won’t recover. Time for the CEO to retire.

Yikes! I believe that everyone deserves a career they love, and it’s clear that we’re not delivering on that for you. I encourage you to speak with me, your leader or a leader you’re most comfortable with about your concerns. 2018 is off to a very strong start with new client wins, new colleagues joining Cielo, and strong client satisfaction. I hope that you’ll use the feedback channels available to you so that you can share in our success. My door is always open or contact me any time at sue.marks@cielotalent.com.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Remote work Work/Life balance

Cons

Layoffs every year and sometimes mutiple times a year (sometimes announced and sometimes quietly but teams talk). Have seen way too many good colleagues get let go to get back filled in a low cost geo that turn out to not work out. Every single day I dread getting a meeting invite from my manager or P&C that I'm being let go. Talking with others on my team and on other client teams, we all feel that way. No bonuses anymore. I dont think I've ever had more than 50% of my bonus in all my time here. Merit raises are low 1-3%.

Hi, this is Cherice Schmidt – EVP, Client Services. Thank you for your candid feedback and for your five years of dedication to Cielo. I appreciate you highlighting the positive aspects of our workplace flexibility, including unlimited PTO and remote work options. However, I am deeply concerned about the anxiety and uncertainty you're experiencing regarding job security and compensation. I want to acknowledge the impact that organizational changes have had on you and your colleagues. While we must make difficult decisions to remain competitive in our evolving market, we understand these changes affect real people and their families. Your feedback about compensation, particularly regarding bonuses and merit increases, is heard and valued. We regularly review our total rewards structure to ensure competitiveness, and your specific concerns about healthcare costs and merit increases will be carefully considered in our ongoing evaluations. The perception that there's inequity between leadership and staff compensation is concerning, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We strive for transparency in our decision-making processes, and your feedback helps us identify areas where we need to improve both our communication and our practices. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific situation and concerns in more detail. Please reach out to me directly at Cherice.Schmidt@cielotalent.com.
