Pros
The benefits package is stellar if you don’t need decent medical coverage. For the most part the people here are wonderful, polite and helpful. From the outside looking in the campus is beautiful and has amazing placement around plenty of shops and restaurants. Most co-workers are highly skilled and knowledgeable.
Cons
However, there is a fraternity-like atmosphere. One team looks down and treats other teams beneath them. The CEO himself behaves in this fashion himself. As far as the core values – those things were once the focus of this company. Now, they’re an afterthought if they don’t get in the way of a more profitable opportunity. Lets talk about how diversity, equality and inclusion are just buzz words to these folks. Let’s talk about the lack of equal pay. Let’s talk about gaslighting employees about their performance so they can treat positions on teams like game of thrones and make calculated moves to dismiss employees to bring on family and friends less qualified while passing over those who would be more beneficial for that position and would enrich their career path. Let’s talk about being pigeonholed in a position because management wants what’s best for Chatham and not what your career goals are. Where management interjects what makes you successful and doesn’t acknowledge the success you want for yourself. As for advice – I can only hope after the significant amount of turnover in the HR department that the new HR department will allow for those buzzwords to become the new values. This company used to put actions to values. Let’s get back there. Let's mean what we say and not weaponize feedback for dismissals and contort what’s said to fit a narrative that pits management against employees.
