Pros

Free parking. Casual dress. Can't think of anything else.

Cons

Extremely high turnover with lots of empty cubicles & offices. For an organization that specializes in HR services and practices, everything about this organization is further from that idealistic dream; think more workforce harassment and bullying behavior.

Pros

I started at C2 in an entry-level payroll role and, over 15 years, grew into a senior specialist. The company truly allows you to build a career if you’re willing to learn and put in the work. I’ve gained a full understanding of payroll from start to finish systems, compliance, client service, troubleshooting, and have been trusted with increasing responsibility over the years. Leadership values experience and promotes from within. The team feels like family, and there’s pride in the work we do. Payroll accuracy really matters, and everyone takes ownership.

Cons

Payroll has strict deadlines, so some weeks are high pressure.

Pros

I came into C2 with a strong HR foundation, but I learned more in five years here than I expected. The environment is fast-paced and client-focused, so you quickly build problem-solving, compliance, and communication skills. There’s always room to grow and learn something new. No two days are the same. You’re trusted with real responsibility, which helps you develop quickly. The best part was the team, incredibly supportive, collaborative, and always willing to jump in to help. That made even the busiest days enjoyable.

Cons

Workloads can get heavy during peak times, so strong organization skills are a must.
