Vacation & Paid Time Off

forces to take vacation due to management telling all that they need to get the vacation off there books

Pros: No vacation limit Cons: No worker protection for minimum vacation. No buildup of vacation. If you put it off and got laid off, no time is given. If you left voluntarily after no vacation taken, no accrual of vacation is paid either. If your relationship is bad with your manager or there is no easy way to bring someone to cover for you, then there is no vacation. The benefit to staying with CSC was an increased vacation accrual over years of service. That is now gone. You are required to trust in the benevolence of CSC in the matter, which is hard to swallow. The vacation policy is a good idea, but I believe it was implemented as company cost-cutting as they lay off thousands of workers in the next year.

The best part was 2 weeks of vacation the first year. The worst part was only 3 days of sick leave.

Just changed vacation policy, allegedly to benefit employees, but once again, it is designed to cheat employee out of time off.

No vacation and PTO you will get chance to use during Onsite Assignment.

Okay - got 3 weeks to start

Cheap Skate Corp recently abolished vacation accrual. Now we get to "take what we want, as long as it's approved by management". In other words: screw you, employees!

New flexible vacation plan and good sick leave hours

Time accrues very slowly and you are lucky to get the time off. Also a use it or lose it policy per year.

The most horrible PTO policy in the industry. Only 12 days off and that too at the Principal (Director) level.
