Pros

You get paid, other than that, not much

Cons

I am a current employee but the contract I have been on for the past several years has been terminated and after 8+ years of dedicated service and hard work, I am now left in the cold twisting in the wind. Everything is micromanaged at every level. No chance for any kind of advancement. This office loses contracts frequently, doesn't get any new business and cycles through people like they are just a commodity. I have seen several contracts tank and good people lost because of badly managed projects. I have been on 4 different highly successful but expensive contracts, only to see all of them get cancelled for cost reasons by the customer. CGS did nothing to try and save this business. Look at the fact that the senior staff (CFO etc)has changed 4 times in the past 3 years along with other key positions, it is not surprising that such a large number of people have had to take stress leave from CGS.

Pros

While the work can be fast-paced, CGS fosters an environment where employees can improve their problem-solving skills and gain valuable experience in technical support and customer service. Overall, I would recommend CGS to anyone looking for a stable and rewarding job in the tech support industry.

Cons

NoneCons: The training program could be more comprehensive and extended for better preparation.

Pros

No pros working for this company

Cons

- Mandatory unpaid holidays (unless you have PTO available to cover them). - Pay is $16/hr, and increases only seem to happen when the state raises minimum wage. - Internal IT couldn’t fix broken taskbars for 8 months. - They reward employees with occasional pizza days and “National Apple Day” events instead of actual raises. - You have to wait for approval to take breaks/lunch, and there are days when you end up skipping breaks because of call volume. - No real growth opportunities: you’re basically stuck in an L1 role unless you leave the company. - Training lasts 5 weeks where you go through Dell powerpoints for about 2 weeks before “real training”. When we started taking calls, we didn’t know how to do about 80% of the work. - Health benefits only kick in after 90 days. - High turnover rate: my training wave started with 15 people, and we were down to 3 before I left. The same thing happened in other training waves as well. They seem willing to lose money hiring and retraining people instead of giving raises or investing in employee retention. - Some L2s are unprofessional, aggressive, and defensive. Conclusion: Please avoid this company at all costs.
