Computer Task Group reviews about "manager"

Benefits are sub par. Not sure if health care will be the path to profitability.

It's a body shop with little care for the employee if the client doesn't like you or when the job ends. Good promotions? None that I ever saw for anyone in 10 years of employment unless you worked in Buffalo HQ. The good old boy program is alive and well here. The responsibility and headache of getting an FSM "promotion" is a joke for the tiny pay that comes with it. 2nd line management is out of touch with what goes on at the local level. CTG seems to hire folks from resumes instead of doing technical interviews and using that as a basis for employment. Many times they hired folks that had no clue what to do in the assignment and barely spoke English for positions which made both CTG and their client look bad to high end customers. One time upper management told the client they were ready to take over a project that was way under staffed both person wise and technically which resulted in the site manager getting the boot from the client.

There is little or no investment in developing professionals unless you are a family member of a Sr. Manager, Director, VP, etc. and then the opportunities are limitless even if the family member has average to below average abilities. Recruiters are ineffective in finding new assignments for skilled employees because they don't understand transferable skills. They only look for assignments by previous job titles and don't communicate with professional job candidates only their managers. The business is primarily a temp agency in disguise despite saying they are positioned to offer long-term IT, management, quality, and consulting types of work.

You have to be very pro-active in your upward movement if you want/plan to move quickly. The salary is on the low side.
