Pros

CS is built around a strong belief in culture and culture carriers. Everything you want from a workplace such as employee activities, recognition, internal promotions, incredible benefits, and more. I have never felt like my coworkers are anything less than my friends.

Cons

While I personally do not have any cons, the current economic climate has created new workplace expectations that may not be available in all departments. A good example of this is flexible/available work from home.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoy our culture. It is definitely one of our differentiators that we are proud of. As a company we do promote flexibility and work life balance. Most roles offer a hybrid schedule and we encourage our managers to provide that to employees when possible.
