Pros

Plenty of Training and overtime opportunity from time to time. Great place to start if your prior knowledge is EQUAL to "NONE".

Cons

While working there "PAY FREEZE FOR 3 YEARS". Not a single person got a raise. Then the company meeting with Phil Friedman we had to sit there and listen to a man who was more than willing to pay very low to the employees with very bad compensation package and insurance that cost high(that majority of employee couldn't afford at less than 11$ an hour rate). Also, had the face to compare his company with other companies as to how the pay was. Instead of actually paying a decent amount for families to be able to live with. Everyone in the room was 11$ hour or less besides the CEO and his 2 security guards. Extreme High Call Volume. Expect to be cross trained in plenty accounts. Expect your schedule to change every 3 months or less. Shift bids occur and Seniority takes the good ones. Call Quality every week, if you perform at 85% or lower expect your shoulder to be tapped while on the call and told to go on meeting after the call to go to a private room to talk about "YOUR BAD PERFORMANCE". Master Tech program only existed for those who already had it prior. Not for new employees. Expect to be told that your calls should last 15 minute or less. Anything longer than 15 minute you either get sent a message on the chat or they are behind you asking you whats going on.

Thanks for your review – it is unfortunate to hear how you feel. We learn from every review so we can continue to get better. I understand from your review that you left the company. We work hard to ensure our pay practices are competitive to the local market and equitable across internal peers. We don’t view employees as replaceable and have multiple channels, both public and anonymous, to answer questions and hear concerns. Listening and engaging directly with our employees is one of our core values and we are proud of the direct and transparent dialog we have daily at CGS. Tali Rabin SVP HR

Pros

No pros working for this company

Cons

- Mandatory unpaid holidays (unless you have PTO available to cover them). - Pay is $16/hr, and increases only seem to happen when the state raises minimum wage. - Internal IT couldn’t fix broken taskbars for 8 months. - They reward employees with occasional pizza days and “National Apple Day” events instead of actual raises. - You have to wait for approval to take breaks/lunch, and there are days when you end up skipping breaks because of call volume. - No real growth opportunities: you’re basically stuck in an L1 role unless you leave the company. - Training lasts 5 weeks where you go through Dell powerpoints for about 2 weeks before “real training”. When we started taking calls, we didn’t know how to do about 80% of the work. - Health benefits only kick in after 90 days. - High turnover rate: my training wave started with 15 people, and we were down to 3 before I left. The same thing happened in other training waves as well. They seem willing to lose money hiring and retraining people instead of giving raises or investing in employee retention. - Some L2s are unprofessional, aggressive, and defensive. Conclusion: Please avoid this company at all costs.
