Pros

Excellent Benefits, 401k, Medical, Dental and Vision! The people you meet working on the CST.

Cons

On the CST: Tech's are held back from promoting to other positions in the company until your managers "let" you go. Come in one minute late and you'll hear from workforce management, stay late and nobody will even say thank you. Answering phone calls all day, and being harassed to take a call at all times.

Pros

6% 401K match, no vesting period

Cons

This used to be a people-focused, high values company with integrity. Today it is prioritizing short-term financial targets at the direct expense of the employees. The business is profitable, but leadership is demanding that’s it’s not profitable ENOUGH (for the rich people). Employees have become numbers on a spreadsheet. Over the past year, the shift has been especially noticeable in the U.S.: * Return-to-office mandate (2–3 days per week), including employees hired as remote. This includes Big Brother like badge tracking and monthly attendance reporting. * Only one month’s notice that unused PTO would no longer carry over. Use it or lose it. * Elimination of the employee recognition financial rewards program. * Layoffs every six months, creating ongoing uncertainty. * Incentives for long-tenure (old) employees to resign. If you’re considering joining, go in with realistic expectations. The company still has talented people and good products, but the employee experience is no longer what it was. Job security, flexibility, and employee goodwill no longer feel like priorities.
