Pros

The staff at the subsidiary companies were kind and hardworking people

Cons

Incredibly toxic work environment and “leadership” who pride themselves on tearing people down. They also pull some really shady tactics with their benefits. If you’re thinking of leaving a reputable company to join this hot mess, think twice. It’s a company run by spineless egomaniacal people trying to turnaround failing businesses that very likely are not going to weather the changing retail landscape. It’s laughable that they try to compare themselves to Berkshire Hathaway and pretend that they’re a super elite company.

Thank you for your feedback. We're dedicated to our mission of saving retail. In just four years, we’ve acquired and turned around several brands to get to a $500M run rate. We’ve also saved over 1,000 jobs, several companies from liquidation, and have over one million happy customers and counting. We take pride in our culture of making an impact and driving results but realize building/re-building companies can be demanding. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns directly if you're open to it.

Pros

Absolutely none. There is nothing positive I can honestly say about this company.

Cons

- This is an extremely poor environment for anyone dealing with a chronic illness, with no concern shown for employee wellbeing or limitations. - Management shows complete indifference toward employees and provides no meaningful support. - Technical standards are extremely weak, with no real focus on clean code, proper practices, or testing. - The codebase is disorganized and unstable, where fixing one issue often creates new failures. - Leadership is not technically involved and often replaces real problem solving with unnecessary meetings. - Decisions are rushed, unclear, and poorly communicated, creating constant confusion and instability. - Good ideas are frequently ignored or dismissed, leading to ongoing frustration. - The overall environment creates constant anxiety because nothing feels stable or under control. - There is very little effort to help employees improve or develop professionally. - Suggestions for better approaches are usually ignored, making speaking up feel pointless. - Most people are just trying to survive the workload rather than build anything meaningful. - Growth and learning opportunities are extremely limited and poorly supported. - Work is highly unorganized, with teams often operating in conflicting directions. - The same problems keep repeating because there is no effective coordination or resolution. - Pressure is constant, but there is no clear direction or structure behind it. - Even simple tasks often turn into major problems due to poor systems and setup. - Motivation declines quickly because nothing ever seems to improve. - Many employees eventually leave because the environment is not sustainable.

We would really appreciate the opportunity to speak to you to get more detailed feedback regarding your experience. It appears that you may have worked for one of our independent operating companies and not for CSC Generation since CSC Generation does not employ any sales associates. We also have no record of any CSC Generation employee making any such claims during their tenure. If such claims are made, they are promptly investigated and addressed as necessary per our policies. Therefore, we will need some additional information from you to investigate your claims. Please reach out to hrbenefits@cscshared.com to connect with us.
