Cool company to work for in 2000's

Pros

Could be a really cool company, they are owned by the same parent company as indeed +glass door.

Cons

-Average base pay is WAY lower than the market staffing average (You can get more money at any staffing company+ that company most likely is remote.) -CSI boasts about its great culture and perks. Their leadership and senior executives are VERY cliquey which creates a terrible culture, and their perks would have been cool in 1990. Nobody cares about ping pong tables and an onsite gym. Employees want more money and remote capabilities. The only people who enjoy the perks+ benefits are the ones who are making 250-300k+ a year and who enjoy coming into their kingdom. -NO REMOTE. They say "Hybrid", but leadership will dictate when and if you can take any remote days. If approved, no one is allowed to be remote on Mondays and Fridays. Remote days are almost looked down upon like taking a PTO day. It's incredible how many former employees left CSI for remote opportunities with higher pay, yet CSI did nothing to change. They would just say "They weren't a culture fit" -The company has no clear 5-year plan, changes every other month. Opens offices and closes offices every other year. -The benefits are terrible. No PTO and high prices. The Maternity benefits are nonexistent. -Company has given way too much power and control to a few senior leaders who create a terrible working environment. There are about 5-6 employees who are at 10+ years in tenure, the rest are >1 year, absolutely no one at 3-8 years. That should tell you everything you need to know. These leaders are very old school and will never change to fit the current working conditions of competitors/ other organizations. -No career advancement opportunities. No raises

Great Company, Poor Biased Managment

Pros

Positive company-culture Coworkers feel like family On-site incentives i.e. gym, free bagels in the morning, happy hours Charity programs Team building exercises

Cons

Stress level - for the most part, the internal positions do not have much stress unless a big project is underway. But when the water gets hot it feels like no one is capable of handling the heat. Work-Life balance becomes non-existent. Long hours at the office just to play catch up on things that could have been prevented if people upstairs weren't trying to save their margin. Management - a lot of times I've been made to feel insignificant and micromanaged, and if wasn't that, it was being given work where no direction or proper training is given. There was no consistency with how things were dealt with and there were too many instances where things were pushed through despite going against policies put in place. I also did not appreciate how people were let go in the last year of my employment there--mine included. There is no proper internal disciplinary process. You might get taken aside to be told "hey try a little harder ok?" with no way to track progress or follow-up on a goal plan to improve work ethic. And if you're looking weak and they need to let go of people guess who's gonna get a surprise at work on Friday? While I understand the terms of ending my employment, it was done suddenly without any warning. I can think of a better way to improve an employee's behavior and deteriorating progress before having to resort to deterioration. I am not sure if Rafe, the CEO, had a say in it but he was once an otherwise exceptional CEO. If he had a hand or turn a blind eye to terminating tenured and experience employee then I am certainly disappointment. Regardless, what's done is done.
