Pros

Wages aren't to bad and the instance is ok

Cons

They will work you six days a week ten to twelve hours a day without giving you any time for yourself or family. They have no respect for people here I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone .

Pros

Good People, good history to the company, but associates are treated poorly

Cons

good riddance to the outgoing ceo. A lot of good people have left, including corp. HR. look closely at what changes are possible and if investing in the people and business is even a priority

A Good Place to Work

Pros

The company is growing and acquiring new companies. This is a competitive industry and CMCO is making sure they remain a key player. The company does offer better than average pay and health benefits. It is definitely a work hard environment and slackers won't last too long. The managers do care about the company and employees and want to do the right thing.

Cons

The 401k is not competitive and their IT systems are behind the times. Some areas don't have enough people to do all of the work.
