Pros

Great location. Nice office staff. Nice view of the water. Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

I've never seen such poor management (IT Dept) and poor communication. Lack of clear direction, no planning. The IT dept. is a total mess. To many meetings that seem to have no value. I can see why they can't keep good people.

Pros

One morning we received an email saying 15% of the company will be gone in 15 mins, 15 mins later my boss emailed me to say I was done. The next day I saw 6 job postings. NO ONE called to say "bye", "nice working with you", "good luck", or to help with a job search.

Cons

Made a 'strategic decision' to fire everyone when the company was incredibly profitable... right in the middle of a recession and finding work is nearly impossible. Working here will likely make you incredibly depressed like it did for me. Poor leadership.

Pros

Nothing good to say about CMLS. The place is ripe with mismanagement.

Cons

Laid off 15% of staff on January 9th. No exit interviews, minimal Communication on what was happening regardless of tenure. The place says culture is important but is basically an old boys club.
