Pros

Chance to experience a dystopian, totalitarian style of leadership and management in a hot climate.

Cons

Life was not always this way at CCAD, looking back the changes started when the new Commander (CEO) took over; First the free coffee went from staff tea rooms, Parking at external offices - gone, Yearly base salary increments for high performing staff - not this year, An environment where staff feel valued and safe - so 2015. Then the culture shift began. Dare to speak up, raise concerns regarding anyone higher up the management chain than you, they'll take a finger; sends a message to anyone else considering joining Mayday. A second offence and you'll find yourself on the wall. Managers who tried to keep the essence of the good times, before the change, are being phased out and sent to the colonies only to be replaced by believers who are true to the cause regardless of how much bullying and gaslighting it takes. The corridors of CCAD now heave with a fog of oppression where everyone is made acutely aware that if you don't conform, you are disposable.

Pros

Health insurance and maternity benefits are great, though some people have been aggravated by the addition of a deductible in 2026. There is also decent tuition reimbursement, but you need to carefully read all of the policies as the wording can be tricky and even HR doesn't understand all of their own policies.

Cons

Pay seems inconsistent and raises are a joke, getting lower and later every year. PTO is decent but keep in mind that getting paid for holidays comes from that PTO and plan accordingly. HR is a complete JOKE! They never answer, don't seem to understand any of their policies, and have no idea what they are doing. It takes weeks to get ahold of anyone, and they are the farthest from helpful I've ever experienced. Retirement matching is based on years of service, they will put the money in the account but only vest after 3 years so don't count on the amount it shows unless you know 100% for sure you will be there more than 3 years.
