Pros

+ Training is about a month-long, so if you need a job while in-between jobs you can come on down and enjoy the show at CBE! Bread and circuses, bread and circuses...

Cons

- No one is accountable for anything. ever. - If you are capable of independent thought, you WILL be pushed out. - Mandatory schedule change approximately every quarter (employees are told schedule adherence is a key factor if they hope to score a better shift - this is false. CBE is so disorganized that they end up "winging" their protocol). - Management lied to EVERYONE and then hushed employees who questioned their principles. They marketed their "revamping" of payroll as something POSITIVE. What they really did was convolute the SOP so much that most employees were either a) too apathetic to do the math or b) too ignorant to the slight decrease in pay. This is an issue of principle and frankly, I do not understand the benefit of working for people who lack a moral compass - After training, I didn't feel ready to take on the job and all requests for additional assistance were rejected - Nepotism doesn't just sound like a disease - at CBE, it is one

Pros

The people are sometimes nice.

Cons

Literally everything else. The pay is terrible. The benefits are worse. In your first year, you only accrue 4.5 days of PTO. That isn't enough for a full week of vacation. They have these signs up all over the building that say, "If it costs you your mental health, it's too expensive." That is just lip service from HR> They say these things to try to keep people placated, but they don't actually do anything to help with any of that. They don't give you enough time off. They don't pay enough. They don't care. To CBE, we are just another cog in the machine. They don't care about keeping employees long term because it only takes 2 weeks to train a new employee and they can pay them less than someone that has been there for several years. This is just a terrible company to work for. They don't care about their employees. They have a high turnover rate and then wonder why people don't stick around.

We are sorry that you feel this way. CBE works hard to try to provide equitable benefits to all of our employees. Have you gone into HR and spoken with someone? They would be very interested in your opinion and may be able to explain some of the things as well.
