- Pay was $10-15K/year less than average for the position.
- Your account manager can't do anything for you if there are problems with your contracted Company.
- Sick Time. You get 40hrs for the year, but they hide this from you during orientation and on their timesheet platform to deceptively make you use Vacation time for it.
- Vacation time (Pro and Con). You're given 80hrs of "Vacation time" and 24hrs of "Variable time" for the year. However, this is a gimmick.
Vacation time and Variable time is accrued for the year, even though it's given to you upfront. Vacation is earned at a rate of 6.66hrs/month worked. Variable is earned 8hrs/4months worked.
BUT THERE'S A CATCH!
You have to use your vacation days to cover holidays that your contracted company takes, but CTG doesn't. (Ex: Contracted Company has Christmas Day and the Day after as Holiday. But CTG only has Christmas Day off. CTG will force you to use your vacation day to cover the hours. Because of this, my 80hrs of yearly vacation was actually only 32hrs because I had to use them to cover my contracted company's holidays.)
They do this because they say it's "unfair" to other people who are contracted to other companies, which is a sorry excuse. They're lazy and greedy. Every account manager can approve the vacation times and go by their Contracted Company, but they don't want to pay you to have your actual time off.
ALSO, if you use more vacation & variable time than accrued before you leave (quit/hired directly/fired), they will take it out of your final paycheck or charge you if your paycheck doesn't cover the amount.
- Benefits are a joke: Healthcare is the same cost than healthcare.gov options (it's even MORE expensive than the government site when adding someone on a plan), No dental, Vision is ok, No match on 401K for 2 years then a measly 1% after that through Fidelity.
- HR is useless. I was called Cancer by my CTG account manager because I called her and our Contracted Company Manager out for going against policy. (They were best friends who bullied people into submission with their managerial power.) Called HR about it, they never called back. Since then, this manager was directly onboarded to the company she was contracted to (no surprise given the friendship).
