Pros

Good people. The office itself is nice.

Cons

High high turnover. In my office, we lost ~80% of the mid-level management in a year and a half (project managers and section leaders). We lost probably 20% of the low level staff. No one is working in the office. Non-existent office culture as a result. Redundant management style. Lack of direction. Miscommunication, conflicting messaging, and unfulfilled promises.

Your comments about turnover reflect the competitive nature of our industry, as vying for top talent is more fierce than ever. CHA’s Talent Acquisition Team has been working on overdrive to fill vacancies and recruit great team members to our company. Indeed, COVID has taken a toll on office workplace culture across the board, not just at CHA. On the bright side, we are fortunate to work in an industry that is thriving despite the setbacks of the past 18 months, and that our employees have been able to transition to work from home so successfully. We appreciate you taking the time to leave comments here, the good and the not-so-good, as we can always grow from constructive feedback. I’m thrilled you like your colleagues and feel good about your office environment and I’m sure more and more people will start to return to the office over the next number of months.

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.
