I love my job because…

I am encouraged to invest in myself so that I can do my very best work.
CIS employee in Human Resources
CIS provides incredible support, flexibility, and resources to their staff to ensure that they have everything they need to be successful in their role. When there is a challenge, management is proactive and supportive. Moreover, CIS does an incredible job with hiring and I find almost every staff member I interface with is friendly, professional, and talented. CIS's support of initiatives like the internal events/activities hosted by the Events team, the IDEA Alliance, and CIS Cares are very much enjoyed and appreciated. I feel very lucky to not only have a role that is a good fit for me at CIS, but to feel like I can continue to grow and contribute more.
