Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I am very glad that you value the work-life balance that we try to offer all employees. Regarding your comment about recognizing loyalty, I am very sorry you feel that we do not recognize this important item. Without more insight from your comment, it is very difficult for me to address your position, specifically. However, I will say that Cotton is proud to be home to many individuals who have worked here for many years. It looks like you are one of those individuals, given the tenure you listed for your post. Loyalty, performance, and tenure are absolutely key considerations when firm leaders determine compensation increases, bonuses, promotions, opportunities for involvement, etc. In fact, each of these is an item where we consistently score highly on employee surveys. That said, I do not want to diminish your personal experience and urge you to please reach out to a Partner, HR, or me to discuss how we can create a better experience for you. We are here to listen and work with you to help achieve your goals. Thank you again, Mark Werblin Director of Culture, Engagement, & Talent

Pros

- Cotton has competitive pay and offers flexible work schedules whenever engagements allow. - One of the best things at Cotton is that you are in charge of your success. Promotions are performance-based rather than seniority-based. - Cotton does its best to ensure their employees are happy and growing professionally. - Cotton does its best to adhere to its core values and principles, including work-life balance. - Cotton’s commitment to quality and professionalism is evidenced by the fact that it voluntarily undergoes a peer review every year, rather than the minimal every three years. - Cotton continuously strives to give back to not only the community via The Giving Committee which supports volunteer services and charitable giving, but also, Cotton’s Sustainability Initiative which focuses on sustainability and environmentally-friendly activities.

Cons

While the first half of this is a con, Cottons handling of these situations can also be seen as a pro. Your experience at Cotton will be directly linked with both the client and team you are assigned to. While I’ve had many positive experiences with both as discussed above, I’ve also had assignments and teams that made me dread coming into work every single day. Most partners and managers at Cotton are highly competent and lead by example, but unfortunately that is not the case for all. If you find yourself working under a partner or manager that does not understand the company's core value of 'Balance,' it’s important to communicate that to your advisor or anyone you feel comfortable speaking to in a position of influence. If possible, changes will be made in order to retain you.
