Pros

The benefits aren't bad, they give extra pto for exercising regularly and 401k matching. You can elect for 4 10 hour days.

Cons

The training for new employees is terrible and basically non existent. If you have a masters degree in accounting you only start at 41k which is basically minimum wage for that education level, I almost doubled my salary when I left. They give you a measly 3 percent for passing the CPA. It takes 3 to 5 years to get a promotion in the auditing department, there were people there for 5 years still making under the 48k overtime threshold. Auditors just sit at a cube all day and do the exact same thing every day, it's so boring. I don't know how people waste their lives away in the auditing positions. Employees with 20 years are mere supervisors and are not even considered managers in the organization so they are very far down the organizational chart. I was personally sexually harassed and HR did not do enough to stop it. Someone took a photo of me on the toilet. Please look for other jobs before settling at CGS, there is a reason the turnover there is so high. Just look at other reviews to see how other employees feel the same way as me.

Pros

Some flexible scheduling options. Some options to work from home after a significant level experience is proven. Good employee-driven food days. Front line managers and non-management employees are good people.

Cons

Below market rate pay. Unrealistic evaluation scoring. Medieval ideas of how performance should be evaluated and raises applied. The only way to get an actual pay raise to is to receive a promotion, but front line managers are too busy or too disinterested to process any promotion is a manner that is the least bit timely. Annual "raises" are, at best, cost of living allowances. Top level management bragged about how many millions of dollars they underbid the nearest competitor for a government contract while persisting in keeping all pay levels at below competitive market rates. Most of the best and most knowledgeable employees continue to leave for better employment opportunities. Initial training in necessary job skills is almost entirely absent, with a sink or swim mentality because anyone who is capable is too busy to share their knowledge. Poor employer participation in the benefits package. For a subsidiary of a health insurance company one might expect competitive health insurance options, but such would not be the case. For the Springfield, IL area, the closest covered ambulance service is over 100 miles away. The technology in place is antiquated and poorly-functioning. No real consideration is given to server operating conditions. After 5 years, the incentives to stay employed with them are lessened to the point of being nonexistent. There is little to no corporate-sponsored recognition of employee performance.
