Pros

I admit that I have learned a lot and I can use that knowledge in my future jobs.

Cons

Working here means dealing with disappointments daily. The pay is extremely low for industry standards. Even when hitting your KPI's your commission is still low. All they care about are sales and numbers and not actually scaling the company for large success. They love to pat themselves on the back about how great they are and how good the culture is, but the morale is terrible and the culture is oppressive and distrustful.

Pros

Exposure to executive level responsibilities.

Cons

Heads are rolling there every month. The churn rate is the highest of any company I’ve ever seen. It may seem like a great opportunity on paper but it is far from what it seems. Avoid at all costs it’s a set back. I saw people hired and leave their current careers for what seems like an opportunity of a lifetime and then are fired 1 week into the job. Avoid for your own sake! Don’t believe them when they say, some people just can’t hack it. There is a reason these positions are constantly open and they can’t attract top tier talent.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Sorry to hear your experience wasn't a positive one. I'm not sure when you last worked for the company but in the last two years we've made great strides in hiring and retaining top talent. In fact, of our new hire retention rate in 2020 was over 95%! As we grow, we continue to invest in our people through annual reviews, performance management, employee engagement, employee total rewards, promoting from within, and offering new career opportunities at all levels.

Pros

Freedom to work from home.

Cons

While the freedom to work from home is pretty great, due to lack of experience in management, this leaves people and teams working in isolated silos, not achieving potential due to lack of guidance. You'll learn very quickly the status quo at CSC Generation, but to offer a flavor, here's my timeline: - Month 1: Left to scramble for results to demonstrate worth - killed it! - Month 3: Achieved best results for portfolio brands in decades - Month 6: Launch new brand, consistent outstanding performance and feedback - Month 8: Promoted to oversee additional department - Month 8: CEO praises initiative in new department in company-wide email - Month 9: Deliver great results through adversity with new brand, launch store - Month 10: CEO praises most credible results the company has seen, while overseeing new department Month 11: Laid off as not spending enough time on original role I love a challenge. I love independent working as well as collaboration. I love problem solving. I love taking initiative to deliver on business objectives. But this place is truly an insane place to work. No guidance, feedback, help - watching people and teams being fired almost daily. You'll see comments on here regarding company growth - don't believe it! Acquiring companies, then laying off most employees is not true or organic growth.

We are truly sorry that we had to part ways. Please understand however, that we tried our best to help you land your next role. In addition to providing a severance, we also highlighted your positive attributes when your new employer back-channeled us about your performance (despite the fact that you were not "killing it" as you mention). Regardless, we are pleased that you have found another position.
