Pros
Cogentrix provides a nice work environment, an excellent 401 K plan and heath care benefits. The highest level of management knows the business and is genuinely interested in the the success of all it's employees.
Cons
Problems emerge at mid-level management. Promotions and considerations are based on the good ol' boy system. Many were with the company for a lot of years, and the retention of those employees is superb. How ever, if you are a new employee, expect to have a difficult time adjusting to the environment. Retention for new employees is abysmal. You quickly become aware of closed door meetings between your peers and management and a careful ear will reveal that the conversations are about other employees who are not part of the clique. The blame game is definitely on there.
