By all accounts, every part of C5 is broken (recruiting, training, scheduling, IT, contract, etc). And now that other places are hiring in numbers and offering better pay and real contracts with real work rules, how does C5 expect to attract and retain a quality work force? Yeah, just a few months ago they were the only choice. But with even 2 minutes of research these days people with choices will eliminate them from consideration!
