Pros

Right off the highway = easy commute Occasional free stuff on Fridays Great Trainer Health benefits are a good deal They do awesome things for the global and local communities

Cons

Pay is well under par (take 30% + off of what you might make at a Fortune-rated company) and, overall, benefits are average. No sense of structure or purpose to the organization. If it isn’t about selling, it doesn’t matter. Disorganized resources = no clear policies or procedures. Many managers don't seem to know how to actually manage or lead a group. Make sure you ask very specific questions during the interview about anything that is important to you. Get clear answers. Should you choose to work at Collette, get everything in writing before you start and carefully read your offer letter. This seems like common sense, but they don’t put much in their offer letters and you are the one that will get hurt. It is common practice for this company to require a mandatory physical AFTER the letter has gone out (and you’ve told your current employer that you’re leaving) so be prepared.

Pros

Working here has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. The leadership team goes out of their way to provide guidance, remove obstacles, and genuinely invest in people’s success. I feel trusted to own my work, make strategic decisions, and bring new ideas forward. The culture is a standout. Collaboration is real here, not just a buzzword. Cross‑functional teams communicate well, respect each other’s expertise, and work together toward shared goals. Professional development is another major plus. I’ve been encouraged to pursue training and opportunities that align with my long-term goals. Day to day, the work is fast‑paced and genuinely interesting—from developing strategic partnerships to helping shape long-term business direction. If you thrive in an environment where your contributions matter and your voice is heard, this is an excellent place to be.

Cons

Fast-paced environment may not be for everyone, but it keeps things exciting

Pros

Great teammates, made working for the company bearable.

Cons

Constantly being overworked and underpaid, work life balance is non-existent. New hires come in making significantly more than the people who’ve been there for years. Good luck on getting a promotion, they only promote their favorites. You get sold you on the idea of a growing company, creating change and bring new ideas to the table, but it couldn’t be further from the truth, no real interest in changing even when it could save them time and money. Leadership only cares about getting to a billion dollars in revenue and they don’t care how they get there, or who they lose along the way. Health insurance is insanely expensive, can’t afford it only making minimum wage. Travel credits and Bonuses are an insult, less and less credits each year even tho they’re making more money than ever! Oh yeah, and HR leadership is a JOKE!
