      Good people to work with day-to-day but Upper Management is Horrific

      Pros

      In my 4 plus years with the company, I worked with some great people in my field on a day-to-day basis.

      Cons

      Upper management was money hungry for themselves, out of touch, and did not care about you as an employee unless you were a share holder. They do not know the staff or the capabilities of their staff. No bonuses or profit sharing. Small % of upper management were share holders.

      Thanks for the honest feedback, I'm sorry to hear that you had such a poor experience. It's important that we see this so we can continue to move towards our aspiration of becoming the best in our industry, including in employee engagement and satisfaction. We've been steadily building our incentive package for our staff and believe that we have a robust total compensation package. We've also developed our Recognition by Design program that highlights individuals and teams who positively impact the organization in large or small ways. This program is very well funded and acts as one form of incentive for employees.

      Benefits are good, but management lacks empathy

      Pros

      Life Insurance, 401K match and benefits.

      Cons

      At Javan I was a person and treated with understanding and empathy. When Javan became CHA I became a number on a spreadsheet! No matter how good you are at your job, you are expendable!!! Subpar onboarding when given a new position. Upper management has a cut-throat leadership style which does not promote trust and teamwork. PTO is not awarded or structured by employee longevity but only by position held in the company which is terrible.

      Pros

      Management doesn’t “watch you watch tv”

      Cons

      Management doesn’t manage so much as panic in the 11th hour. Had upper management spike the ball on several projects using unfounded information which collapsed next steps. Upper management travels more than they wrote proposals.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective and for recognizing the autonomy our teams have in how they work. We do not agree with the characterization of our leadership or decision‑making approach. Leading complex, fast‑moving projects requires judgment, accountability, and timely action—particularly when conditions change. Our leadership team is actively engaged in project delivery, client relationships, and business development, all of which are essential to sustaining work and supporting our people. High expectations are accompanied by clear ownership and a commitment to continuous improvement. We evaluate outcomes, learn from challenges, and adjust where needed, using a comprehensive view of performance rather than any single perspective. We appreciate the opportunity to respond and wish you continued success in your career.

      I am glad to hear you enjoy your colleagues, work and the office environment at CHA. We work very hard to make that happen! I’m disappointed to read your comment about the management. Our leadership team and CEO work hard to engage with our employees, but recognize there is always more we can and should be doing. If you have any additional feedback or suggestions you are willing to share, please reach out to your former HR Business Partner. We would love to learn more about where you think we have opportunities to improve.
