      Pros

      I worked at CDMS for 4.5 years with no EHS background and it was the best place to start out my career. They trained me to be an expert extremely quickly. It is overwhelming at first but the results came in time and it was worth it. Compared to people who work for companies with an internal EHS team, my knowledge and ability is likely comparable to people with 20 years of experience due to seeing so many projects as a consultant. Pay goes up dramatically once fully trained and exceeds industry standards. In my time at CDMS, I got to see a huge variety of projects, got to see how a lot of different industries operate and met many fantastic people. Once trained, the job is extremely flexible.

      Cons

      Since pay is based on productivity once a project manager is fully trained, hustle culture is prevalent. This means, that for project managers, the job is best for people with certain personality profiles. Mainly, people who are relatively outgoing to deal with clients, hard working to keep up with productivity, and independent since each project manager is fully in charge of their own projects. If a new project manager has a hard time learning a lot of information or is generally slow, it can be discouraging. Typically the first 3-6 months, me and most other project managers I saw join didn't know if they would be able to learn everything they needed to learn and do everything they needed to do.

We are glad to see your comments on the flexibility we provide with schedule management and work-from-home options, as well as your appreciation for our office facility and the learning opportunities available at CDMS. We appreciate your feedback about employee training and continue to enhance our onboarding and training processes to better prepare our team members for the diverse range of projects we handle. One of our core values is not just to do a task but also reflect on how we could do it better next time and implement that improvement. We understand that the nature of EHS consulting means there will always be new topics and projects to tackle - even experienced professionals regularly encounter unfamiliar areas, and developing the ability to adapt and learn is a core skill in this field. Our senior EHS team members provide guidance and support to ensure successful project execution across all the work we take on. We also continue to strengthen coordination between our sales and operations teams to ensure optimal alignment on project scope and team readiness. Regarding benefits, we are always evaluating our offerings to provide the most competitive package possible for our team members. Currently, CDMS provides Medical & Dental insurance, paid time off (PTO), and a 401(k) plan with both Roth and Non-Roth options, alongside our competitive compensation structure with regular performance and pay reviews. We value your input and are committed to making CDMS an exceptional place to work.
