Pros

CTC Is nothing that I could have ever expected, It’s not a company it’s a community full of lean thinkers and ROAS hackers, it’s full of world class creatives and matrix level buyers, it’s full of black Friday ad grinding sessions and informational workshops that challenge you every day... But where CTC Really separates itself from anything else is what else it’s full of. It’s full of Families and friends that you’ve never met in person but you ask how there mom is doing, It’s full of laughs and drinks with colleagues connected via a screen that makes your whole home feel warm, it’s full of new puppies for some, and new daughters and sons for others that everyone celebrates and welcomes to this world, It’s a melting pot of diversity with wonderful people from all walks of life that makes you feel like you are at Ellis Island in the 20s, This company is beyond anything you could ever expect, and that can be scary... Your first day is the build up on the roller coaster when you hit the top of hill and you look down at what’s to come.. you feel your stomach in knots and you hold on the brake fearing the unknown. Let Go, Go for it. Your life will change.

Cons

If you want to "clock out" when you leave work. This is not the job for you. CTC affects the way you see the world in and outside work.

Pros

You will learn quick what to avoid in future companies and employees. Every role after will be a breath of fresh air.

Cons

CTC is a chaotic, ego-driven mess, churning and burning employees and clients. CEO Taylor Holiday is a wannabe Twitter influencer playing entrepreneur, surrounded by an inner-circle of unqualified buddies. Strategy changes constantly, positive reviews are fabricated, departments are dissolved on a whim, and layoffs are routine. CTC demands unrealistic output from overworked employees, all while preaching a fake culture of “transparency” and “work-life balance.” Transparency means hyped-up financial updates paired with weird parties and alcohol, followed immediately by entire department layoffs. Work-life balance means 60 hour work weeks with a level of micromanagement I haven’t seen before or since. Not convinced yet? Welcome to leadership meetings where no one has a plan and everyone is too afraid to say the truth. Staying close to the in-crowd matters more than results or performance because it might just keep you your job. I’ll never forget CTC’s empty promises about development and achieving dreams, all while exploiting, discarding, and abusing everyone in sight. If you value your career, mental health, or basic respect, stay far away.
