Pros
CEI has a very relaxed work environment yet still remains professional. Employees are allowed to dress comfortably. Work hours vary between 6am to 6pm. CEI offers a fair and competitive salary with performance based incentives. All employees have access to health benefits as well. The company has two owners that are heavily involved in the day to day operations. They take the time to get to know all of their employees and are readily available to assist in anyway necessary. The company sponsors several work outings a year, typically surrounding a sporting event as well as a holiday party in the winter. The staff consists of about 15-20% women as well as about 15-20% minority. Promotions always come from within. Job performance is easily accessible on a daily basis along with clear ways to improve your performance. The better you perform, the more you will gain in monetary bonuses. This job offers a great introduction into the business world with a heavy focus on market trends. A great job for motivated, competitive individuals who can work well in a team atmosphere. I worked at CEI for almost 2 years. I moved back to the east coast because of family matters or else I’d still be there.
Cons
Newer employees need to be prepared to work about 6-8 hours a month on the weekend.
