Pros

Laid back atmosphere for the most part, no one is super concerned about what is going on in the trenches. The attire is business casual, and the company encourages you to take breaks throughout the day.

Cons

Truth is being hired at COCC will, for most people, be the high point of your career there. It's a small company and there isn't really room or opportunity to grow a career or develop professionally. The raises are minimal, and starting salaries are low by industry standards. Going to Hartford, Windsor, or Fairfield for a job with an insurance company or brokerage house is a much better long term career plan. You can make a lateral move at COCC, but promotions or being nurtured isn't a possibility. Just fact. The other downside is management. Almost no one in a management position earned it on merit if you get my meaning, they just know how to play the game. Hard to take criticism or direction from someone that isn't qualified to be in the position. It's not a coincidence many of the employees at COCC share a last name with another employee. More than a little creepy

Pros

On site gym, upgraded, modern facility

Cons

Worked an an engineer and my superiors didn't have a clue as to my day to day responsibility or my macro involvement for the projects I was assigned. Keep in mind these were the people I interviewed with and worked for. Very confusing, and real lack of structure and organization. Overall very disappointing. In my opinion not a great place to work

In our most recent workplace survey, a majority of employees indicated that they believe their managers care about them and help them develop and succeed. We’re really proud of these stats, because they show how we’ve cultivated an engaged and passionate management team to help support the day-to-day efforts of our employees. As we grow, we do continue to explore ways to grow our management team, ranging from management & leadership development classes, to one-on-one coaching, manager roundtables, and more. This is definitely an area we have a lot of focus on, and we look forward to continuing to work with our management team to continue making COCC one of the best places to work in Connecticut!
