Pros

Generally, the people I worked with were very nice and professional; Always went the extra mile to support our projects.

Cons

CED is owned by an international real estate company and has recently become very profit-centered. While I understand the need to be profitable, I think that has taken precedent over client service. Quarterly closings are extremely stressful and overall culture has been negatively impacted. The accouting system is also extremely complex and very difficult to navigate, even with training.

Pros

Flexible schedule & ability to work remote or hybrid

Cons

The company does not communicate effectively among all staff. Upper management treats as-needed staff like they are trash and they don't take time to understand the discipline that they are in charge of. When the department is understaffed, the employees are told to just "work harder" instead of hiring more people. They interview people, make them believe they have a shot, then the managers ghosts them. Even though they label themselves as having "competitive" salaries, they pay less than some smaller companies. Large bonuses only go to managers after their staff does all the hard work. Regular staff gets small bonuses and baby raises each year. A lot of people resign after they refuse to do bigger raises because they can get hired for a lot more at other companies. Upper management also ignores all communication from regular staff. There are no repercussions to Upper management when there are HR complaints about them. Advancement in the company is super slow.
