Vantaggi
- Most asociates are smart, kind, and very committed in their work - Great office environment and community - Company core values; especially the charitable support the company provides - Excellent compensation and benefits - The company overall is very ethical and really makes an effort to ensure associates can come to work and feel supported, safe, and empowered - You can really have a great work/life balance
Svantaggi
- Senior IT leadership is no doubt filled with smart and capable people but most seem interested in their own career aspirations and make decisions based on what benefits them and their span of control rather than what benefits the company's shareholders - Org change after org change which is costing the company tons of waste ($) and disruption yet nobody can explain one key measurable benefit of these changes - Very few "leaders" among the bunch of IT Senior Managers, Directors, and SVPs; seems like more like a bunch of project managers looking through budgets and allocating internal and contract resources rather than people who are inspiring and motivating their teams to deliver value quickly - Some IT SVPs think it's their job just to ask bubble-bursting questions to prove their value and their intelligence; aren't leaders supposed to build people up and help educate? - Where's the vision? Everyone seems to be able to point to a project plan or roadmap but hardly anyone can explain in a compelling way why what we're doing is important, exciting, and benefits our shareholders - The company will let low-performers stick around for a very long time before letting them go; this reduces the productivity of everyone around who has to work with the person - Everything is slow; decisions, projects, promotions, even people responding to e-mails. I get that we're managing people's money but at the end of the day, this is a business. I just do not see how CG is going to be able to compete with other nimble organizations over the next 10+ years unless something changes soon.
