Pros
It's a job. It pays the bills (unless you live in a high-cost area such as New York or San Francisco).
Cons
(In no particular order): 1. Outsourced HR/recruiting means you don't have an 'advocate' if you're trying to get re-hired by CCS if your program ended. 2. Too much turnover from middle to upper management along with the aforementioned outsourced recruiters means nobody will remember you for the excellent job you've done with them in the past, so don't bother going 'above-and-beyond'. 3. Concentrix, the online reporting/scheduling database is the worst, most unorganized and inefficient database ever conceived. The time it takes to do the most simple tasks is aggravating especially after a long day (if you do your reporting at home instead of on a smartphone in the store). 4. Promises from management upfront turn into lies and excuses in the end. 5. They're the type of company you work for if you don't value your time, your talent, or anything else in your life. And finally... 6. I am forced to actually give a 'star' as a rating, because they deserve none. *** Before you think I'm just 'bitter', I am not. I have worked for CCS off and on since 2002 and I've seen them change for the worse just a few years ago and they have gone downhill ever since. The professional organization I once knew and loved working for no longer exists except for their name: Creative Channel Services.
