Pros

co-workers, good friends, good people. Plenty of parking. Easy access from Chicago or west suburbs. Plenty of fast food restaurants and stores around for lunch time or shopping during break. Smoke breaks allowed at the time in designated areas.

Cons

Unstable company, you can lose your job at any time for any reason. Many people quit between the first months and those who "make it" don stay more than 2-3 years. The ones that stay longer have very little hunger for career advancement. When the company loses a client, they panic and they make up for the loss $$ by letting people go (cut jobs) . Then in time they get new clients and they hire again "new people”. Long work hours, including after hours and the occasional weekend. Poor training, outdated infrastructure, not up to the latest technology as they claim. Salary is below average for the work done. Little room for career advancement.

Dear Former Anonymous Employee, Thank you for taking the time to write a review and thank you for your hard work while employed at CSI. Our company is actually very stable. We've been in business for over 38 years and we've been the market leader for last 10 years. It's simply not correct to state that you can lose your job at any time for any reason. We actually rely heavily on our team members and we've very dependent on their expertise. We have excellent employees that are filled with drive. We promote from within about 90% of the time so there's ample room for growth. Fortunately, we have a long history of winning new business every year so we don't need to panic when we lose a customer. Our team members take great comfort in that and that is also what allows us to give raises that are larger than the cost of living. We have many exciting technology projects in development so if you find yourself between jobs please take another look at us. Sincerely, Chris Williams President

You can work from home,

Cons

Lack of competitive salary Long hours and weekends Very clickish company Lack of Communication Gossipy IT guy. Has nothing to do but talk and gossip. I try to come in the day he isn't there to get my work done. If not he'll stand by your desk and talk and gossip and bad mouth people. He also tells you how you should do your job .Waste of a salary. No encouragemenet The outlook of this company is very scary.
