Don't work here even if you're unemployed! - Anonymous employee CSC Employee Review

The following applies to the Menands, NY only....(eMedNY) -If the building doesn't scare you the rest of this list will. The office is set in an old Montgomery Ward warehouse which is only partially converted into office space. Constant plumbing problems (yes backed up toilets) and the whole lobby leaks every time it rains. -A full work week is 40 hours/8 hours per day. If you want to take lunch you have to work 8.5 or 9 hours a day. The extra hours beyond 8 is your lunch time. Oh and there is no place to eat that lunch except at your desk. No place! -Employee parking is across the street, half way down the block and down a hill. There's a bus but add 15 minutes to your arrival and departure time. There's building parking but you have to pay for that. And they give you the worse spots. -New employees only get 2 weeks PTO. The company forces you to use 4 of those days during the last week of the year for a companywide shutdown. The Menands location is exempt from this rule but this goes to show how much this company care about work life. Note if you leave the Menands office you will only get 6 days PTO to use as you wish. -The most offensive thing....the project in the Menands office was lost to another vendor and within the next 4 years there will be no work there. The other vendor has already began taking over, training has stopped, people are quitting every day, there are no resources. The company is in survival mode. This is a dying project and they are pinching pennies. -There is a staff quota. With so many people quitting every day they need to keep hiring. So if your human they will hire you to keep the quota up. They are taking good people away from their jobs with the promise of training and other stuff but it's all lies. When you get there you hardly have any work to do! Egregious. I wish I had not left a good job for the promises CSC offered. Especially since I read so many horrible things here on glass door. I chalked it up to the fact that most of the employees at this office were contractors and/or foreigners and so their experiences were probably different from full time employees that were citizens. That was an incorrect assumption on my part and a valuable lesson learned. All the bad stuff written on glass door about CSC is true!
