      SGS Testcom - prime contractor for California Smog Check program (NGET)

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      SGS Testcom manages the applications and the systems that manage the state vehicle smog program. They manage the system the best that they can based on funding and staff talent. There are a few talented people below the manager rank that are adding value to this project.

      Cons

      The working environment is deplorable, old out of date buildings with poor facilities (see other reviews). Computer systems and databases are on the verge of serious failure due to poor management. The headquarters in Balston Spa NY, contains the executive staff. The executives treat their managers poorly, not providing raises to reward good performance in 2 years. Relationships with the State of California (the customer) are often poor.

      Pros

      freedom with your schedule to a limit. you can start ya day late or very early and when your done with your assignments for that day then you are done for the day.. the pay was salaried so you was given 40 hr weeks even if you didnt work the whole 40

      Cons

      management does not manage well at all... there is no support against arbitrations from your management. they dont compensate to equal your expenses. they dont assist in training that can benefit their employees. they have a high turn around rate.

      Pros

      Interesting network of people and locations which touches a wide variety of industry segments and trade sectors. A few people are very passionate.

      Cons

      Not high caliber staff. Motivation is frequently low. Locations and facilities are often in a deplorable state of disrepair. There is now career path or management. Geneva headquarters is bizarre.
