Pros

I worked at the Brighton corporate office for just over 3 years. Just starting out in my career I was taken advantage of by management with the constant promise of more. Overall I was being underpaid the whole time with only 1 cost of living wage increase.. Cost of living goes up about 2-3% yearly. Senior management regularly overstepped direct manager by changing priorities or and project landscapes and caused lots of wasted time and effort. The whole company culture employee first thing seems like a giant ploy to sway unsure employees into staying when they are on the brink of mental breakdown. I was often talked down to and generally felt like a lesser human while working at CSIG. I voiced my opinion about this a few times. The one time something came of it the person helping me got fired. That brings me to turnover. People will get fired because someone else didn't like their tone. It has been this way for 20 years. I have a personal connection to people that worked here when the company was starting out. CSIG still uses the excuse that they are a growing company to account for all of the aforementioned. But the goal of a company is to always grow so that excuse is them being irresponsible for their actions.

Cons

compensation, benefits, all the rude ladies in the homecare sector of the business. General feeling of being beholden to others.

Pros

There is a great work-life balance. The managers really care about your well-being and are so accommodating to make sure you can focus on your priority projects. If you're overwhelmed they're open to helping you out. The culture and environment is amazing. You can tell the company cares about their employees, and the team is great, and everyone is friendly and helpful, no matter what position they're in! You're also not limited to working only from your desk. If you want to work from the office cafe, you're more than welcome, and it's so nice and comfortable. The office's location is also a pro. It's near many stores and necessities for post-work errands, and it's in a beautiful area as well.

Cons

There are no cons I can think of.
