When I first started with CSIG I was very excited about the position, my leader, my team and the culture in general. When things first started to turn upside down was when the office relocated. We all went from having our own offices to cubes and it was a hard adjustment, but we adapted. 

During that time I had already lost my original team memebers (due to inadequate training). I gained a new leader who was not an efficient leader. He had trouble training my new team, didn’t understand work loads, resulting in me stepping up and training the team. He changed our workloads constantly, put a lot of stress on the team, set very high expectations within short time limits that were not possible. Micromanaged everything, didn’t listen or notice clear signs that his team was barely keeping their heads above water. At that point I lost another team and a new group was hired. I again aided in training the new group because my leader wasn’t capable of training in different styles and wasn’t even aware that his ways were not working. 

During this time I asked to either move to a different department  or be promoted. There was no room for me to grow and I was told at one point I reached my peak (regarding pay). I asked to shadow other departments and that request was never met. I joined the Enjoy It team where I felt I really brought a lot to the table and enjoyed hosting fun culture related events. The culture of this company was great!

I learned from this company to never go to the HR Department if you are having problems. I went to them for issues I was having with my leader that I needed their help with, and was told to talk things out with my leader. I had some dialog with my leader, thought things were smoothed out and it ended my career with them.

I feel like the wrong leaders are promoted based solely off of who is liked more within the office and who hangs around the executives enough to get noticed. That being said decisions are made in haste, there is constant confusion in your role. People are transferred between departments nonstop and new departments and roles are created daily. 

The week I was let go, 4 others were let go one by one each day before me. I think it shows the company is very unstable, and has very inexperienced leadership within its many departments!

My role has offered me a fulfilling blend of creativity, collaboration, and professional growth. I’ve had the opportunity to directly design and influence materials that support leadership development across the organization. The work is both strategic and hands-on, allowing me to see the real impact of my contributions.

Throughout my time here, I’ve earned multiple certifications and taken advantage of growth opportunities that have expanded my skills and confidence. The environment encourages innovation and continuous improvement, making it a great fit for anyone passionate about learning and development.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I love working at Common Sail Investment Group. The company has an amazing work culture with supportive and collaborative team members, which makes a big difference day to day. There is also a strong emphasis on maintaining a healthy work-life balance, which I truly appreciate. It feels great coming into an environment that genuinely cares about both its employees and the communities it serves. Being able to make a meaningful impact and help care for people who truly deserve it every day is incredibly rewarding.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Like any role, there can be busy periods, but overall the team is very supportive and helps keep things running smoothly!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is supportive, collaborative, and purpose-driven. Employees feel valued, and there’s a strong culture of compassion and teamwork that makes it a positive place to work!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day can vary depending on the role, but on the marketing team it involves balancing multiple projects and deadlines. Strong time management is key to staying organized and ensuring everything is completed efficiently.

I worked at the Brighton corporate office for just over 3 years. Just starting out in my career I was taken advantage of by management with the constant promise of more. Overall I was being underpaid the whole time with only 1 cost of living wage increase.. Cost of living goes up about 2-3% yearly. Senior management regularly overstepped direct manager by changing priorities or and project landscapes and caused lots of wasted time and effort. 
The whole company culture employee first thing seems like a giant ploy to sway unsure employees into staying when they are on the brink of mental breakdown.
I was often talked down to and generally felt like a lesser human while working at CSIG. I voiced my opinion about this a few times. The one time something came of it the person helping me got fired. That brings me to turnover. People will get fired because someone else didn't like their tone. It has been this way for 20 years. I have a personal connection to people that worked here when the company was starting out. 
CSIG still uses the excuse that they are a growing company to account for all of the aforementioned. But the goal of a company is to always grow so that excuse is them being irresponsible for their actions.

What is the best part of working at the company?
This is the most welcoming company I have worked at. The team is great and supportive, the managers are accommodating, and your well-being is prioritized here, which is difficult to find in today's work environments. 

They also want you to grow and work to the best of your ability, and emphasize that. Onboarding was also great, and they gave you a proper amount of time to adjust and take on your responsibilities. Plenty of help was offered as well, and questions are encouraged! 

10/10 :)

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some days might be busier than others, but I haven't ever really stressed because of how flexible the managers are, because they're accommodating and want you to be able to focus on your priorities. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is amazing, and everyone is very friendly and helpful. I look forward to coming into the office to see my coworkers. There's a good work-life balance as well. The team really cares about each other, and even as a newbie, you feel welcomed and like a part of the team.

I have been working for Common Sail Investment Group for nearly 9 years in the marketing department. I couldn't be happier here - I appreciate and cherish my leader, as I truly believe she is looking out for my best interests. I love my team, as they bring a lot of different backgrounds and talents into the mix and we enjoy working together as a group. We have seen the company grow a lot over the last 5 years and that growth is continuing, so this is a good fit for someone that is hungry for that. I enjoy the office - we are super stocked on snacks, beverages and have an amazing layout. The best part of Common Sail for me has been the growth opportunities. I was hired without experience in marketing as a coordinator and have had opportunities to work in content creation, social media, consumer insights, reputation management, video, etc. I am now blessed to work with my own team - a sector of the greater marketing team called Insights. I feel very blessed and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a career. 

A dynamic company with multiple on-going projects and new company ventures under way.  Co-workers were very friendly and worked well together.  Management was ever-changing with confusing agendas, however, always helpful and goal oriented for the employee and the company.  Meeting new people and interacting with multiple clients, vendors and employees was a highlight of the day.  Assisting others in meeting goals and discussing new opportunities was a huge plus.

The most difficult part of the job was the uncertainty of what was happening company wide.  So many changes brought on multiple employee replacements and a lack of job security/fulfillment within the office.

Always an opportunity to learn if you so desired.  Because of the multiple company ventures under way, it was not a company that ran in a fluid manner.  There were many hiccups along the way and not much in way of communication.

If there was communication, it was constantly changing as many meetings were taking place with many outside management firms.  I believe they will get on track eventually.

CEO is fantastic with great vision who wants everyone to have a voice.  However, company is changing rapidly and managers react like mice in a snake cage and do little to execute the 1440 culture among their staff.  Everyone is too busy to care to develop and coach causing aggravated employees and bad mouthing behind backs. Stubborn mid-level leadership that lack adequate communication skills with their team and many operational problems at properties.  Most people have been with the company since the beginning and keep their trust in the veterans.  If you aren't hired in with a relation to current vets expect to be judged under a microscope by leaders.

Culture committee does a great job providing fun events and activities for staff and HR is welcoming.  However, all this comes off contrived simply to please the CEO.  

Do not recommend to skilled workers unless you are applying for management. This place is too green!!!

Disconnect between what home office thinks is happening and what is really happening in the senior communities.  

There is a whole lot of talking and not a lot of action.  Project management is a joke.  The IT department is a joke.  Learn who the untouchables are fast.  Start with sales and marketing, they are all pretty untouchable.  

They fully use the 90 day probationary period.  They will not give you training, expect that you know how to do the job and if at 90 days they don't like you for what ever reason, they will fire you.  Keep in mind, there are little to no training manuals or guides for anything.  People are dependent on cell phones there.  Don't give them your cell phone number.  If they want it, be sure they are paying for it. You will get calls and texts all day and all night.  Then YOU have to do the work to get reimbursed through an expense report.   

The day that I applied for this job I had NO IDEA it would end up meaning so much to me in so little time...

After college I spent a year in a job I didn't love or even like... feeling like I gave up on myself and settled. The whole time I was still looking/searching for my dream job because I refuse to be stuck in a job or place that I am not excited or happy to be at everyday. This is where most of our lives and I hate feeling like I am wasting my time doing something I don't even like. 

And then I found Common Sail Investment Group <3 

I had no idea... This job, surrounded by these amazing people, creating this incredible work culture and environment is has been MY DREAM for such a long time, and I am finally living it! Ever since I walked in here on my first day and still now I have felt so incredibly appreciated, loved, and valued. This is a place with a culture and work environment that is not at all easy to find because once you do you don't leave it. 

I found an incredible place and my goodness do I love it <3
