This company is fraudulent, and I want to warn anyone who is considering using their services against doing so. Sure, you might find a few reviews saying they did the job, but there are far more reputable companies out there, so be sure to do your research thoroughly before handing out $4,000 to $10,000 of your hard-earned money for a scam like The CS Team.
Here's why:
- The company failed to execute my contract, refused to provide a refund, lost the case in court and has failed to respond to communications seeking payment of the court-awarded amount.
- The company uses severely outdated templates for all their deliverables, meaning your resume will use a Word template from the 90s and your cover letter will be canned verbiage, even though they promise to write a custom, executive-level resume and cover letter for you. In addition, the resume I received gave the impression that this group had no idea what I do for a living, and not once did they reach out with questions before providing their final version of the resume; while they promise initially to revise the resume until the customer is satisfied, I was told to trust that they knew what they were doing. Finally, every deliverable provided to me contained a number of grammatical, spelling and general content errors.
- Within the first month, they spent almost no time on job search strategy outside of providing me with stacks of canned materials, such as lists of interview questions, step-by-step instructions on how to cold-call potential employers, etc. Not once were any of these printed materials reviewed in person.
- They promise to build you a website, which uses an extremely out-of-date template to repurpose, word-for-word, every line from your resume into a four-tab webpage built on coding practices from the 90s. In addition, the graphics used become stretched/skewed, resulting in an extremely unprofessional webpage they never even incorporate into your job search strategy.
- The coach I received was frequently unavailable and even made sexist remarks on one occasion to back her views of male-dominated corporate culture (I'm female and I was offended).
- Several items and deliverables in the contract were never fulfilled. Some items that were fulfilled did not happen in the first thirty days, as stipulated in the contract.
- The "database" they give you access to is severely outdated. I looked myself and a number of colleagues up, and most of the information presented was false/out-of-date.
- The CEO of this company raised his voice to me and belittled me when I asked for an extremely reasonable refund amount, and instead offered only to provide a limited amount and only if I signed an NDA on the matter.
- The salesperson I spoke with initially attempted to win the sale through flattery by making comments about my physical appearance.
- I tried their method (earnestly) for 2 months and received 0 qualified leads; I then tried my own personal strategy (which they tell you will not work), and received 6 qualified leads after 3 weeks and accepted an offer higher than the median range they recommended.
