      I have been working at CGI full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      CGI offers many good benefits, like matching 401K and profit sharing. Also, they have kept the healthcare costs low, which has been a big help. It is a good place to start and receive a government clearance.

      Cons

      The turnover where I am is very high due to low pay and the amount of leave you accrue is very low compared to other private section positions. There are no annual increases.

      Advice to Management

      Higher starting pay and raises would attrack and retain a better qualified worker and improve over all quality.

      Pros

      CGI allows a flexible schedule. They have a work from home policy. They follow the government holiday schedule. Average benefit.

      Cons

      CGI has poor management. They have no regard for a work life balance. They have antiquated systems and no room for growth.

      Advice to Management

      Cgi needs to be more transparent with their sales queues. The sales team has sat on their hands for the past few years.
