RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at CSC full-time (More than a year)
Pros
When I was with this company there was solid communication between management and the help desk employees. I was given a company cell phone to track ticket status and be more available on the road. Ability to travel to remote site locations was available. Flexible schedule to meet SLA requirements was available. Was not number driven and management was in constant contact to make sure you had the tools you needed, and the performance reviews always were on the bright side to give more training if needed or offered potential promotion routes inside the company when available.
My wife took a position out of the area and no positions were available in our new city so I had to leave the company. Otherwise, it was a very stable position.Cons
Pay was generally on the lower side. Seems to be the case after reading so many reviews on many different companies. Pay based on the Bureau of Labor and Statistics data for the area where you are employing people and you can have a better chance to keep good, skilled, workers.

"A RACIST PLACE TO WORK"
StarStarStarStarStarDoesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOPros
I dont have anything positive to say about my work experience with this company. And I mean absolutely nothing. NOTHING!!!
Cons
If you are not a WHITE employee you can forget a promotion, raise or respect in this place. If you voice an opinion about the obvious issue's your ostracized and blackballed. They work you to death for little pay. There is no work life balance at all. You work overtime with no overtime pay. And reporting it does nothing for you. They will always take management side. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. You are so much better than this company. BEWARE.!!!
Advice to Management
Stop being prejudice. Listen to your employees. Pay them what they are worth. We are employee's but most of all human beings.

Great people in the organization, excluding the Sales team, despite all the layoffs. My manager was excellent, always shielding us from questionable and constantly changing management directives.
Cons
Went through countless rounds of layoffs over 13 years (and various positions) before I got my turn. They were always looming, and it created a dismal work environment. They would rarely invest in technology solutions, preferring to overload remaining employees to be the glue between disparate systems. I've heard they are continuing to thin the heard in the US, continuing to push for outsourcing to cut expenses. Short sighted moves that likely won't pay off.
Advice to Management
Improve the culture, stop all the layoffs and pay your staff market wages.

It was a good opportunity to see how an actual technology support company was structured. Good to be part of a support group.
Cons
Work -life balance was stressful.

Get additional staff to help out existing workers.

Neutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at CSC full-time (More than a year)
Pros
There are some really great people who work for the company. The work/life balance is good. Benefits are good; the company pays a nice portion of insurance. 401K. Good health incentive program.
Cons
Pay is not sufficient for the work that is required. Temporary employees make more money than full time employees. When a temp goes full time, the rate of pay decreases. High turnover rate
Advice to Management
It's time for a raise. Pay your employees. Great staff that is underpaid.
