What People Say about CRA

From my experience, they’ve always been very customer-service driven. Any time I’ve had issues with them or concerns for employees, I’ve been able to visit with staff there and always received excellent guidance on what needed to happen. I have always been really pleased with the way that they make a habit of coming and visiting us.

Customer-Service Driven

One of their biggest assets is the availability of fund choices. They provide a lot of tools and a lot of information. I appreciate the fact that I can move my stuff around and move within the risk factors that are there. I don’t ever run into any limitations on my flexibility. I think that’s pretty important.

Fund Choices and Resources

I like how easy it is to go online on the employer side and make changes. I like the ease of that.

And honestly, their service has been very good. When I email them they answer me right back. I’m sure we’re one of their smaller accounts but it doesn’t feel like it so that is very nice.
