Pros
Not very busy so spend a lot of time tidying up processes
Cons
Not a single person is happy working there. Partly because the money is poor but also the management don’t treat you very well. As soon as I got pregnant management weren’t interested, treated me poorly which resulted in me not returning after maternity leave
Advice to Management
Be a manager regardless of pregnancy!

Doesn't RecommendNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Cartus full-time
Pros
the pay is ok I guess.
Cons
on team training is awful, expected to know everything right away. no one to ask for help, unsupportive managers. I also had the worst interview for this job where I was made to feel incapable of the role, surprised I got it and should have taken this as a warning sign.
Advice to Management
train people for the teams they are going into or tell managers what you are being trained on...

Pros
Incentives & Awards boost basic salary. Decent holiday allowance (inc Christmas Eve & Birthday). Great people & management. Great network of international colleagues. Great scope to move around teams and roles in the UK and Europe. Training is comprehensive and does not feel rushed.
Cons
Process driven (can be monotonous). Wide scope of responsibilies. Your experience will vary hugely from team to team depending on the client. Heavily outsourced - you effectively just coordinate other companies to do things for you rather than doing anything yourself. Your job is heavily linked to the client - if they do badly and move less people the client team will suffer.
Advice to Management
Bring key functions in house, reduce the number of assignees per cartus employee but get them to do more. This is frequently communicated to me in evaluations by assignees they wish we had more responsibility for their move as we are let down by suppliers frequently. Continue the great work with building a fun and inviting culture with the social events

Pros
Very interesting work, exceptional growth for new hires in international client services to develop valuable skills.
Cons
The work load can be high and the fast paced environment isn't for everyone. Very easy to get sidelined into a role where progression is near impossible unless you have the right internal relationships.
Advice to Management
Talent management is crucial in a competitive market. Has been very sad to see some of our most capable move on elsewhere while progressing average performers.
