CSC reviews

Managers tend to take care of each other and if you are a lower level staff you have to absolutly fight your way through some bad management tactics in order to move on to a new job (this has been my personal experience). Not much career growth for young people unless you're ok with waiting 5-10 years for a move forward. A lot of comfortable older people. Way too many managers. As an employee expect to get a machine that has already been used and recycled for you to have for the next 3 years until it crashes and you get another used one. I gave 3 stars for work life balance because of the usual burn what you earn policy for vacation. Also, there is not much training for you once you start so you are pretty much left your own devices unless you have a good manager.

The pay grades are somewhat below the generally accepted salaries for the same positions in the same field. The company also restructures itself every couple of years under the auspices of improving workflow and profitability, and while this often affects the management level positions more, this is because the company is somewhat heavy on management staff. While the system for reviewing performance for raises is more than fair, department managers are allotted a specific amount of money for raises in their department, so that if everyone performs well and meets or exceeds expectations, the amount you get could be lessened by the fact the pool of people drawing from that allotment is larger.
