Pros

CTC cares about their employees as much as they do their families, because CTC is like family. I've never been excited to get up and go to work until I worked at CTC. CTC offers great benefits, including a program where you share your dream and they invest in you to pursue that dream, even if that ultimately means you leave the company. Seriously, they believe in their employees and their mission to help entrepreneurs achieve their dreams that much. From clients to employees I have never worked with a group of people who so firmly believe in their mission that they will put so much effort forth to make it happen. I have seen multiple people change positions in this company due to growth, the effort and interest those employees put forward, and management's willingness to let employees explore new avenues. Before CTC, if someone told me to describe my ideal company, I would not have come up with a description as good as the company CTC actually is.

Cons

There isn't a single one.

Pros

You will learn quick what to avoid in future companies and employees. Every role after will be a breath of fresh air.

Cons

CTC is a chaotic, ego-driven mess, churning and burning employees and clients. CEO Taylor Holiday is a wannabe Twitter influencer playing entrepreneur, surrounded by an inner-circle of unqualified buddies. Strategy changes constantly, positive reviews are fabricated, departments are dissolved on a whim, and layoffs are routine. CTC demands unrealistic output from overworked employees, all while preaching a fake culture of “transparency” and “work-life balance.” Transparency means hyped-up financial updates paired with weird parties and alcohol, followed immediately by entire department layoffs. Work-life balance means 60 hour work weeks with a level of micromanagement I haven’t seen before or since. Not convinced yet? Welcome to leadership meetings where no one has a plan and everyone is too afraid to say the truth. Staying close to the in-crowd matters more than results or performance because it might just keep you your job. I’ll never forget CTC’s empty promises about development and achieving dreams, all while exploiting, discarding, and abusing everyone in sight. If you value your career, mental health, or basic respect, stay far away.
