Pros

I have worked for Cornerstone for over 5 years and although there have been lots of changes - the organization is still one of the best companies I've ever worked for. With the recent acquisition announcement, I'm confident we will continue to grow and serve our clients while maintaining a strong culture of next generation CornerStars!

Cons

Like other organizations, the struggle to retain talent means that we have seen a lot of very good people leave the organization. The HR / Talent teams does a great job to survey and provide feedback to employees, but I think many are looking for greener pastures - they don't accept the inevitable change and don't see it as a sign of growth.

Thanks for sharing this; it's great to hear your positive outlook on our leadership and vision as that’s something we really care about. There can be challenges that come along with acquisitions, especially when it comes to aligning products and culture. While these decisions are made to support growth and long-term success, they don’t always feel seamless in the moment. Again, I appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you all the best. -Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer

Pros

The people outside of leadership are great.

Cons

The experience of working here has been consistently frustrating due to ongoing instability and a lack of alignment between leadership and employees. Layoffs are a recurring theme rather than an exception, which creates an environment where people are constantly on edge and unsure of their job security. Instead of building trust, leadership decisions often seem reactive and disconnected from the reality employees are actually dealing with day to day. Compensation is another major issue. Commission plans are frequently changed throughout the year, often with little clarity or consistency. On top of that, commission payments are regularly delayed or payed incorrectly which adds unnecessary stress and undermines confidence in the company’s ability to follow through on basic financial commitments to its employees. What makes it worse is the overall lack of transparency and professionalism in how these changes are communicated. Decisions feel top-down and out of touch, with little regard for how they impact morale or day-to-day motivation. I do not know a single person who would describe themselves as truly happy or secure in their role here. The culture that results from all of this is one of uncertainty, frustration, and burnout rather than growth or stability.
