Slavery-like job (Contractors = slaves; government workers = masters)

Support associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- work is easy, don't have to use your brain for anything - convenient location in Old City Philadelphia - great pay for someone just leaving high school or college - Great way to think about landing a job in being a Federal Government employee

Cons

- Accrue 1.54 per week (3.08 per paycheck), use this for both Sick and Vacation. If you do not have PTO you have to use Leave Without Pay (LWOP) and you can only use 40 hours of LWOP before they fire you. (Seen this multiple times) - Managers and Supervisors treat CGI workers like garbage like this is still slavery days but yet bow down to government workers. - Little to no room of growth - Revolving door of employees - Some of the people who work for CGI are uncoof, unprofessional, ghetto, and say anything out their mouth. - I would runaway or keep on searching if someone needs a job.

Pros

The best reasons to work here are given in the interview. Then you find out that it is just a bait and switch.

Cons

No training or support. No management or leadership. All they care about is that you are 100% billable. You are on your own. You may be assigned to a team with a team lead but you do not work with that team - only on your own. The team lead just maintains workflow for billing and does not function as a lead of anything. They offer online training which you must do on your own time - remember! 100% billable! They throw you under the bus with clients left front and center.
