Pros
For recent college graduates looking for a first job, this is a great place to gain some professional experience. If you get in with the right group, you may have a wonderful, nurturing experience in which to grow. The staff members that work at Chatham are hard-working, humble people, and wonderful to work with.
Cons
Most jobs are very processing related and feel relatively transactional and "dead end" in terms of professional growth. Leadership is seriously lacking. Chatham typically promotes people that are good at their jobs and puts them in leadership positions without any support or training in how to lead and mentor others. Promotions are very few and far between. Additionally, experienced hires are not valued for their input and recommendations for improvement because the long-timers make the rules and call the shots. Leadership is not open to new ideas from new employees. Favoratism runs rampant, even if the "favorites" are hurting the company's growth. Overall, I would recommend Chatham to new college graduates, but not to others with work experience outside of Chatham. It can be a very frustrating experience for those wanting to make an impact on the organization.
