Pros

Sometimes they'd let us leave early, remote work... that's about it.

Cons

This company is 99% cons. If you want to be micromanaged to death, then you've come to the right place. Your manager will direct message, email, and call you if they think you're not getting enough work done. The problem is, they take on new clients constantly even when they're understaffed and everyone has to pick up the slack. Having people from other departments jump in to do other jobs. They also want you to work overtime all the time and make you feel like you're lazy if you don't. Work-life balance? Non-existent at this place. The employee retention at this company is abysmal, it's basically a revolving door of employees. Even the employees who have worked here for years always end up leaving for a better job. The pay for this position is terribly low, especially in this current market. Not a living wage in the slightest. The health insurance selected by the company is expensive. They're also that company that says "we're like family here" which is a major red flag and a way to make employees think they care. They in fact, do not, unless you're one of the favorites. Those favorites are also the only ones that can grow within the company, otherwise, there is no growth. They also had a data breach last year in which employee and client information were taken and I'm not surprised that it happened. My computer didn't even have virus protection on it until I called IT for something else and they alerted me that they needed to add the software to my computer. Talk about negligence on their part. I would give my experience with this company 0 stars if I could. AVOID AT ALL COSTS or use it as a stepping stone until you can find something better. Your mental health will suffer at this company.

We are disheartened to learn about your employment experience with CSI. We work hard to build a positive culture for our employees to thrive in. 91% of employees say CSI is a great place to work according to our 2022 Great Place to Work certification. 85% of employees say that managers avoid playing favorites. We also know that 14% of employees who left the company have come back and currently work at CSI. We appreciate you making us aware of the reported status of your PC. Every computer provisioned to an employee at CSI includes multiple levels of malware protection. With that, however, we did conduct a thorough review of the IT ticketing system and it does not show that any computer used by a CSI employee current or former was without malware protection at any time. It’s unfortunate that you are not having or did not have the experience most of our employees enjoy. We have an open-door policy and would encourage a dialogue if you are interested in having a conversation.

Pros

Great company culture and work-life balance.

Cons

When work is slow, employees are moved around suddenly and without much notice. Not a lot of room to grow or earn promotions.
