Pros

You get paid, other than that, not much

Cons

I am a current employee but the contract I have been on for the past several years has been terminated and after 8+ years of dedicated service and hard work, I am now left in the cold twisting in the wind. Everything is micromanaged at every level. No chance for any kind of advancement. This office loses contracts frequently, doesn't get any new business and cycles through people like they are just a commodity. I have seen several contracts tank and good people lost because of badly managed projects. I have been on 4 different highly successful but expensive contracts, only to see all of them get cancelled for cost reasons by the customer. CGS did nothing to try and save this business. Look at the fact that the senior staff (CFO etc)has changed 4 times in the past 3 years along with other key positions, it is not surprising that such a large number of people have had to take stress leave from CGS.

Pros

Benefits. Truly the only pro to working at this company

Cons

I have recommended CGS to friends in the past, and I regret doing so. I started out enjoying my time there, but after being so underpaid, so overworked, and so exhausted daily from the mental, and emotional stress, leaving was the best thing I’ve ever done. No employer should be forcing all employees into the office without regulation by claiming they are essential staff during this pandemic, when the actual essential staff makes up approximately 2% of the workforce and never reports to the office. All that to say, if you are offered an opportunity at CGS, only take it if you’re desperate but get out quickly. Don’t risk your mental and emotional well-being on a man who would gladly fire you before giving you another dollar on your pay check.

Pros

Its Monday to Friday and free parking

Cons

Approx 200 People. Majority under one contract that they hold onto by the skin of their teeth. No Operations Management so all teams report to one person who does not have the ability or patience to effectively lead. Micro Management happens because of this. Cameras pointed at employees inside and outside of the building with constant threats that "The cameras are watching". President routinely talks politics and which side he is on, Frequent accusations without merit along with yelling at employees and hauling them into offices for more yelling and threats. Followed by an apology for flying off the handle, then yelling again for the same thing that never actually happened. If you are a woman you can forget about equal wage. Men get awards for work and women get awards for selling tickets and helping with fund raising events and cleaning up. No training whatsoever. New hires sit for at least two months without direction, Then scolded for not being up to snuff on a program run by an uneducated 'favorite'. In short, this is the place where your career goes to die but the front office looks nice and they talk a good talk...then you walk into the pit and lose all of your skill set and your mind. Your bonus will be never on time and far less than they tell you in interview. Note your offer letter does not show a bonus structure and your role can be changed at any time in a direction you didnt want to go. Move on...if you feel like you want something that they advertise get that experience somewhere else.
