Business Development Specialist - Business Development Specialist Connecticut Business Systems Employee Review

Thank you current employee for writing your review. It’s clear that you are concerned about the culture and level of support at CBS, and we are both troubled and saddened to read your review. We have an open door policy and invite you or any former, current, or prospective employee to speak to Human Resources or anyone on the leadership team you feel comfortable with about their concerns. Specifically, we want to be clear that we do not tolerate racism, sexism, harassment, or retaliation of any type, and these behaviors should be reported to Human Resources immediately. We did some reflection and wanted to provide readers of this review additional perspective. Employees in sales that perform at CBS are rewarded in various ways; promotions to leadership roles, Million $$ Clubs, President Club Trips, participation in company-wide contests, salary increases, flexibility, uncapped commissions and bonus opportunity. A performing sales rep is “in charge of their own success or failure.” We are committed to the development of our people and we believe that if we hired you we are committed to developing your skills. If this is what is defined as “coddling,” then that is OK with us. Turnover is painful for any business, and we actively work to reward and retain our employees in the various ways referenced above. We do benchmark our turnover internally and against similar companies, and for the past 12 months, it has actually been at 34%. Of course, our goal is for this number to be even lower so we welcome suggestions on how we can make CBS an even better place to work. It’s true that our industry in general has traditionally been male-dominated; however, it is important to us to have diverse perspectives throughout all levels at CBS. To that end, we conduct annual Leadership Development Programs and offer mentoring opportunities to give employees the support and tools to grow within the organization. At CBS, we believe that every employee has the capacity to be a leader, whether they have a management title or not. Finally, we agree with you that our employees are super nice and appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. We truly do welcome feedback from current and/or former employees.
