Pros

Pay was above market average

Cons

Pretty much zero ethnic diversity in front line employees. Interesting that the company likes to pretend they are diverse but in reality they aren't. Also, management is weak and at the mercy of the private equity firm that owns the firm. Leadership likes to pretend they are running things and making decisions but in reality they have no power at all. It's 100% the private equity firm that calls the shots. Also, don't think I had worked for an organization with a CEO as vain as this one. He liked to pretend that image meant nothing to him, but again, in reality he was VERY concerned about how he looked and his physical image. It was actually kind of amusing to watch him pretend he didn't care about image when all he really cared about was image. If it were me, I'd run far far away from this company and skip applying. Don't waste your time.

Pros

I joined CoreTrust during a period of significant investment in the technology organization. In the first year, there was strong momentum within the engineering and technical teams, with a focus on modernizing the platform and rebuilding the product. The technology group was capable, collaborative, and consistently delivered meaningful improvements to the system.

Cons

Over time, there was ongoing misalignment between business and technology leadership. While the technical teams delivered value, the broader organization struggled to effectively adopt and leverage those improvements. Strategic direction was often unclear or shifting, which made long-term planning and scaling difficult. Much of the executive team was relatively new to their roles, and the organization would benefit from more experienced leadership and stronger alignment between business strategy and technical execution.
