Pros

I didn't experience any Pros while working for this company.

Cons

IMHO, the owners of this company have no business being in business. Management is inept and afraid to fight for what's best for the employees and the business as a whole. It's difficult to fight against your own family members - whether it's your husband, brother-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, son, nephew, etc. So many family members have come and gone, leaving a trail of bad feelings in their wake, yet friends and family with little or no experience are preferred over those with knowledge and experience in this field. The extreme nepotism has created a culture where everyone fears losing their job, and feels they have no one to turn to when management needs to be made aware of serious situations. The situation is truly shameful.

Nepotism anyone?

Pros

Do you like working long hours and weekends? Do you like being compensated poorly for the time, effort and talent you put into your work? Do you appreciate people that care more about their own back pockets than they do the welfare and success of a company and the people that work for it? Do you appreciate being told by your CEO that “you are expendable”? (yes that really happened) Do you like working for a company that hires you because you're related or you're good pals with one of the higher ups? Do you dig poor management, idiocy and severe lack of professionalism? Do you like not being given advanced notice that you are getting laid off? If you have answered yes to one or more of these questions then you are going to LOVE working at CTS! I will miss my co-workers from my department.

Cons

Need I repeat myself? Also, poor project planning and time management. Poor communication skills.

Pros

Depending on what division you work for, you are either treated as a valued employee by middle management or as a commodity. The interpretation division has grown to be the main staple of the business and the translation division struggles for marketing support and recognition outside of election season. There are many talented people who work on the "front lines" however management fails recognize their importance until they walk out the door for the last time. Peers of the "front line" employee seem to understand the main issues and have built a good network of unofficial communication. The COO is one of the few voices of reason in the company.

Cons

Leadership, especially of sales, is short-sighted and flies by the seat of its pants. Communication is highly limited from leadership with very little transparent communication. Inept employees with previous legal issues are sometimes valued more than capable, revenue producing employees. The Sales department seems to run by the philosophy of "promise the moon and figure out how to get there later."
