      Pros

      There are no pros, this company sucks.

      Cons

      Upper management is so bad at what they do, I can't help but wonder, do they realize it? When your company has as much turnover as Challenge, which is 50% across the organization, shouldn't the company realize it's them? Are they so delusional that they think they just hired bad people and that's why they leave? Wake up people!! You are the reason they're leaving!! You are horrible at managing people, and you come across as soulless villains with no intelligence at all times.

      Pros

      The people I have worked with have been pleasant and knowledgeable. The company is growing, which provides significant opportunity for those who seek advancement inside, and outside their career fields. Challenge management works with their employees to create a successful working environment if the individual voices a need for change. Overall, Challenge provides a great work-to-life ratio, and many of it's employees are invested, and want to do their best to continue the forward momentum the company has gained.

      Cons

      Annual reviews for employees paid on salary are not standard practice. Although, if the employee requests a review, they will receive one. Challenge does not have a strong HR department. Communication throughout the company is lacking.
