Pros

They hire right out of college. Very friendly, young and exciting staff working there. Good benefits including 401k match, profit sharing and bonus. A LOT of job security. Growing at a fast pace.

Cons

No upward mobility - a lot of people become "supervisors" but the pay increase is usually less than $1000 a year. Management are either outside hires, or ex-HR managers that seem to have promoted themselves to "team leads" - not sure how that isn't a conflict of interest. Everyone being fairly young is a good thing for socializing, but bad if you want expert help. Staff are very underpaid unless you're on a sales team. Average beginning salary is $31,000 - $34,000, and you'll literally stay there for 5 years straight.

Pros

CSC has strong values and provides you with plenty opportunities to step up and take on a challenge. I enjoy working at CSC is that they are constantly evolving in a positive way. The company has a solid history with 100+ years,, which is something to be very proud of. CSC encourage feedback from all employees no matter their position. They are willing to listen and get you involved in looking for ways for us to improve. People are friendly and very supportive. The people are genuine and are willing to make sacrifices for the company. CSC take it's hiring process very seriously and only selects candidates that demonstrate CSC Values.

Cons

While CSC recognizes the importance of staff, they do not offer competitive salary compared to the market and industry. Salary increases are not paid at the time of a promotion as CSC prefer a pay for performance approach ( even though you have already demonstrated your performance which is why you are getting promoted). Sometimes it can feel like you keep on taking on additional responsibilities and extra hours with no tangible benefit. Employees make sacrifices as they take on additional responsibilities with limited return. Work life balance is also hard to achieve due to limited resources. Adding headcount is extremely difficult even though the business is growing. I understand that as a business we need to keep our costs down, but this should not be at the expense of customers. We need to ensure that our service levels do not fall behind because we are growing and cannot keep up.
