Pros

No skills required, as long as you clock-in at 8:45am and clock-out at 6:00pm- you will maintain your job indefinitely, really. Only thing that kept me here for 2 years was the CIO (Rich Cannici) because he is the only person in upper-management that believes in work-life balance and valuing key employees who prove their worth.

Cons

CGS doesn't care about your skills (or lack of). There are persons who've been here for 7+ years and can't even perform the job CGS hires them for (ie. Lotus Notes admin, Informix admin) and yet they continue to collect a check. Also, if you want flexibility with work schedule or work-from-home benefits this place has a zero tolerance policy. If you're lucky enough to have an understanding manager then you can get compensation-time for working on weekends or off-hours, otherwise it's pretty much against company policy to work remotely. Dress-code is stuck in the 70s IBM days where you must wear a shirt and tie even during summer days. Absolutely no casual Fridays! Also, for better or worse, there are no annual reviews. Whatever your initial salary is, is what you'll leave with; even if you work your ass off and go beyond your job description, upper-management prefers to fire you and hire someone else if you ask for a raise. CEO has a superiority complex and believes anyone can be replaced regardless of skill, loyalty, or tenure.

Pros

Young environment, great colleagues and a great project manager, really easy to talk to. Nice building and offices, the paycheck was always on time. Learned a lot of new useful things. Stable job.

Cons

Extremely low salaries for the job responsibilities and the big amount of stress. No opportunity for advancement; no recognition of a job well done. We had monthly evaluations but didn't mater what so ever. Some of the employees are overqualified, some really not cut for the job but still earning the same. How's that fair?

Pros

Depending on the contract, there is plenty to learn. Most of the employees and some managers are good people.

Cons

There is no such thing as competitive pay. No where near base pay even at tier 1. Giving level 2 techs a 10% increase from $11 is a joke.
