Pros
I have had the privilege to watch this company grow to what it is now and can honestly say that this company looks after its employees like no other company I have ever worked for. They do genuinely listen and care about their employees and the benefits and flexible working options they provide have been invaluable to me.
Cons
Can't think of any at the moment
Car Benefit Solutions Response4moWhat a fantastic review to read and from a colleague who's been with the business for over 20 years so has clearly been through lots of change in that time. It's fabulous that you clearly love working at CBS and you feel valued and appreciated. Thank you for your 20 years of service and your ongoing contribution to the success of CBS.

Pros
Generally friendly, great team. You can tell the company as a whole wants to start to focus on development and welfare.
Cons
Starting to feel more corporate in the office and moving away from the family feel. There is a lack of support and lack of communication between some departments. Work load is continuous.
Car Benefit Solutions Response4moThank you for posting a review and it's good that you're feeling the investment the business is making into development and welfare. We have a large-scale people plan that will support our business through the next growth phase and ensure we've helped secure CBS as being the best place our people CHOOSE to work. We are committed to ongoing investment in our people, products, and customers which is incredibly rewarding and understandably comes with an expected workload. We aim to reward this with attractive salaries, benefits, flexibility and rewards package to maintain our Investors in People and Best Companies to Work For accreditations.

Pros
Some great benefits A great team of people Growing and ambitious business Good office facilities and cafe Nice treats organised by HR
Cons
Culture has changed and not for the better Some of the senior management don't always live by the values as they should Recent changes have not been for the better Lots of people have been leaving If your face fits you'll do well
Car Benefit Solutions Response10moThank you for your review which rightly highlights the great team of people at CBS who share in our ambition to grow, achieve success and collectively fulfil our potential. The business has changed as a result of the pandemic, we have embraced hybrid working, enhancing the work/life balance for all of our team, and continue to embrace various platforms and technology to remain connected to our people and our customers. This is a journey that will constantly evolve with the team committed to the cause, and responding positively to the changes. We are exceptionally proud of our commitment to invest and develop in our people and have had the pleasure of awarding eight internal promotions this year already. We would point out that the indisputable facts are that the number of leavers is low and reducing, and was already significantly below average trends. The implementation of regular pulse surveys will ensure all of our people have a voice and can be heard and our ongoing commitment to external awards and accreditation will evidence that we continue to invest in our people and rank highly as a Best Company to Work For. We are grateful to all of our team for their amazing efforts each everyday and its great to see that they are being rewarded through their collective achievements.

Pros
Professional, customer focused business that is continually striving to improve it's services & employee benefits. I have never worked anywhere that has a positive culture like CBS - everyone is encouraged to learn, develop & succeed. Senior management are extremely approachable and employees opinion are listened to - that's why we rank in Best Companies to work for & hold Investors in People accreditations! You only have to look at the length of service of many of the staff and the number of people who want to come back after they leave to see this is a great business to be part of.
Cons
Nothing major - nowhere is perfect but if anyone thinks they can do better good luck to them!
Car Benefit Solutions Response9moThank you for your review and it's great to have recognition from external accreditations such as Investors in People or Best Companies to Work For - these all originate from engagement with our people who are, without question, the ones best placed to give their account of life at CBS. With the teams' commitment, drive and passion, we can keep hitting our milestones and evolving our business making CBS the best place you ever choose to work.

Pros
Managed but never micro-managed, continuously reassured of employer's interest in my wellbeing. Securely employed and reassured throughout the recent covid pandemic. Encouraged to achieve a good work/life balance. Given all the tools necessary to learn, develop ad grow, in this re and future opportunities. Employer is always looking to grow own talent and promote from within.
Cons
The pie van doesn't come often enough.
Car Benefit Solutions Response9moThank you for your review and it's great to read how positively you rate your experience at CBS, and the opportunities you have enjoyed - helping our people reach their full potential is imperative to us. Couldn't agree more on the pie van too - one of the best treats we deliver to the teams!

Pros
Small business with plenty of activities to learn and develop a career, management will give chances for people to prove themselves, good comparable benefits
Cons
Growing bureaucracy and quickly losing the small family feeling, wellbeing is a buzzword that is used rather than actually developed on, pay scales are based purely on job title rather than the actual role people perform, senior management lack vision and struggle with change that is needed in a business in a technology heavy industry.

Pros
The directors really value and respect the employee's and even through the pandemic still went the extra mile with bonuses and extras. Employees are always encouraged to learn and be the best they can be, and given support where needed. I started with CBS nearly 16 years ago and it still retains the family feel and it's the best company I've ever worked for. The directors are always available and I count them more as friends rather than my employers.
Cons
Honestly none I can think of.
Car Benefit Solutions Response2yThank you for taking the time to add such a positive review and the fact that you are such a long serving member of the team speaks volumes and we appreciate you choosing CBS as your company of choice. We look forward to continue to support you and for you to be part of the CBS family for many years to come.
