The ELEVATE team is a textbook toxic, corporate culture. Data and facts don’t matter, only if you’re liked by senior leadership. Personal relationships influence leadership decisions that generally conflict true team needs. The ism’s - boss vs. leader , and needing to be right rather than get it right, apply frequently.
-Everything is veiled, rarely is anything transparent. Consistently needing to worry about if something is a straightforward communication or a manipulation, or set up.
-Consistent turn over, high volume of turn over. Burnt out employees. Low pay - comparatively to market and CCC as a whole.
-Personal gain focus outweighing needs has created an unsustainable staffing situation making it nearly impossible to completely deliver to clients. Redundant reporting and tracking methods used. Perpetuating the cycle of burnout and frustration.
CCC as a whole has gone through its rebirth from private to public. This caused pain in some expected ways. The organization as a whole does also have some systematic issues with women.
-Expenses are scrutinized relentlessly and difficult software is required to book all travel. The travel partner responsible for all flights is verbally abusive and incoherent the majority of the time. Anytime it was brought to managers attention, “oh that’s just so and so” , no employee is deserving of someone screaming at them saying they’re stealing from the company because a flight changed. It makes sense to use these systems for expenses and oversight, don’t make it nearly impossible with archaic software and a just plain mean, travel agent.
-Benefits started to be cut. Phone / Internet stipend got lowered. Raises not meeting inflation. Stock handed out like candy, but long term vesting timelines and struggling performance doesn’t drive much value to “total rewards”.
-Women are paid less, managers and directors joke about this openly. It’s known.. The organization refuses to acknowledge it.
