Stepping stone company. Those who stay are worked to the bone for little or no recognition or additional compensation. - Supervisor Citco Employee Review

Pros

Free beer was nice. Benefits used to be top notch but that changed. Not much else to add. When it's not "busy season" there's a lot of free time.

Cons

More than I could list currently. Management is untouchable and is known to throw staff under the bus when things go wrong. Everything under senior management is grossly underpaid. We were told this was because you don't have to commute into the city. The low salaries are supposed to be made up by overtime during "busy season" working 70-80 hour weeks which typically ran from mid January until May and then depending on your client load could start back up in July. When working this much, overtime gets scrutinized and people were told to work the extra hours and not book them in an effort to not go over budget. Employees quit or get fired and are never replaced so teams are understaffed. This has led to more and more work being outsourced or being looked into. New offices opening overseas regularly. I wouldn't count on having positions in the states other than high level management in the near future. Upper management confirmed this theory on more than one occasion.

Thank you for leaving your feedback. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees so I am disappointed to hear about some of your experiences. You rightly point out that the cyclical nature of our business means that there are certain times of the year when people are extraordinarily busy, however we attempt to balance that out during the ‘non-busy season’ time and provide for an overall work-life balance. Additionally, we regularly benchmark our total compensation package of salary and benefits to ensure that we remain competitive within our industry and regions. We are always looking at how we can improve so thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
