Pros

I can think of so many pros of being employed at Cady studios. The amount of fun, laughter, creativity, and happiness that comes with working at Cady is astronomical. I have also been pushed out of my comfort zone, been forced to grow exponentially, and made so many life-long friends along the way. Above all, we work for the best manager out there. Lauren Surman is fierce and powerful, but yet still the most caring, compassionate, all around incredible boss that anyone could ever wish for. She makes us all feel equally important, she never judges us, she goes above and beyond all the time and everyone that I work with would agree with me on this. Over all, I am so happy with my experience working at the Delray Beach Cady studio, and would recommend it to anyone looking for work who wants a fun and creative environment.

Cons

The only con I can think of is the constant complaint we get about our pricing, and how everything is not explained very well on the website while the families are booking their sessions. I also wish we had a larger payment plan than the five part plan, because I think a lot more sales would be made if these thousand dollar collections could be paid off over the course of say a year.

Pros

Great stepping stone to something better.

Cons

CADY appears to be led by individuals who lack a clear understanding of how to effectively run a business. The company promotes a “welcoming” culture, but in practice, it often feels performative and rooted in outdated or uncomfortable approaches. The environment within the Innovation Center is consistently tense. Teams frequently experience internal friction, and HR maintains a highly visible presence that can feel more like surveillance than support. In October 2025, Josh Cady abruptly eliminated the work-from-home policy with no transition period. This decision left many employees scrambling to adjust, particularly those who relied on remote flexibility for childcare and other responsibilities. The PTO policy is notably limited for a company of this size, and the absence of dedicated sick days only adds to employee strain. Removing remote work mid-year, while offering minimal time off, reflects a lack of consideration for employee well-being. Daily interactions can also feel forced. For example, employees are greeted each morning by HR in a way that often comes across as insincere rather than welcoming. Overall, CADY feels disorganized, undercompensates its employees, and provides minimal benefits, contributing to a challenging and unsupportive work environment.
