Pros

Family owned, successful company that continually takes in an unbelievable amount of profit each year.

Cons

They company is really working to lean out - there is a lot of job insecurity, especially if you are a senior employee. Coworkers have lost their jobs, only to have them re-posted after six months or so at a lower pay rate. If you are someone who is willing to drink the kool-aid, you'll do well here; otherwise, don't provide your "candor" when asked.

Pros

Closer proximity of office from many areas. Free lunch.

Cons

They have no plans on building their own captive centre. They just need managers who are not technical at all. Vendors like accenture capgemini are looting them by costing expensive billing hours. Lots of hired talent is wasted because CBS employees are not meant to do anything on system. Leadership doesnt know what they should do. They keep giving false promises. HR department is the worst, they will trick you while deciding your CTC. you will end up getting less salary than your previous employer salary.

Outsourcing of IT

Pros

The company provides excellent experience as well as education as you work in different technologies. I joined the company while there were still family members involved in the company. As they stopped being involved the company has been slowly evolving into the environment that exists now. They provided a good package that would help us to land new positions. Good place to get IT experience but realize that the IT job function is being systematically outsourced so don't look at the company for long term employment in IT. I know nothing about other job areas

Cons

I did not care for the way in which the time prior to the actual layoff was handled. Months of meetings were held to help them formalize their new strategy. All the while some of us realized we were helping them lay the framework for outsourcing our jobs. I've heard that the contracting firm they went with is not performing as hoped. This firm has lost several contracts in the past year. .
