Pros

CGS is a results-oriented organization and for this reason if you are willing to do the work you are recognized by both your peers and leadership. Leadership encourages constructive feedback and is open to new ideas. It's refreshing to see a CEO/President who are so involved in the day-to-day operations and take such an interest in the details. The company is financially solid and debt-free. I don't know of many organizations of this size that can say that. This is because of the company's disciplined approach to managing resources, which in this market is a definite plus for job security.

Cons

It's a large organization so communication can be a challenge. The organization could use more structure with respect to management/reporting (which appear to be in the works given the company's growth initiatives so this is good news).

Pros

Nice, clean office, secure building, employee recognition, free coffee, co-workers, it's a job.

Cons

No schedule/attendance flexibility, ridiculous amount of micromanagement, horrible morale, no opportunity for advancement, pay not commensurate with experience or even nature of work performed, most employees are well overqualified for the position.

Pros

There were literally no pros to working here - upper management is a small cadre of thugs.

Cons

Company does everything they can to steal from their employees. If you get laid off (there's a great chance - if you're on the bench for 2 weeks, you're considered worthless), they will not reimburse accrued vacation. You'll wait months before health benefits kick in. Nice plan they came up with to cut down on costs, seeing how they have trouble keeping anyone longer than the grace period. Will promise you bonuses if you work 70+ hours a week -- then cry poverty when you deliver - give some excuse why bonuses aren't being paid. I don't know if I can express this in clearer terms - if you get a call from a CGS recruiter, run the other way. If you work there, good luck in planning your escape. At least take solace in the fact that you're not the first to be lied to during the interview process, and to realize too late that you've just made a big, big mistake. Realize anyone around you with any talent is also figuring out the fastest way over that wall...
