Pros

You make it the most of it

Cons

No respect for new hires, and the higher ups never talk to their staff, lack of respect all around. Overtime is ridiculous, working 12 to 16 hr shifts 6 days a week, and when you call off for being sick you have to make it up on your day off. Pay wasn't that good. Favoritism, a lot of conflicts of interest. Cliques.

Pros

CC Uses cutting-edge Technologies, which is good experience for resume building; many of the Teams are collaborative; interesting work and you can believe in company goals.

Cons

Director and Manager level mgmt at corporate here do not provide guidance on projects. There is a lot of turnover on data projects because new employees are thrown into the deep end and then just blamed if results are not as expected. CC really needs more hands-on project oversight. There are also behavioral and anger issues with a couple long-time ppl as well, and this is both exhausting and (sometimes) outright humiliating. They need to treat new people better.
