My experience at CS Energy was disappointing due to poor leadership, high turnover, and a lack of recognition for hard-working employees, leading to a toxic work environment.

The good thingsGood people work for the company

The challengesCS Energy faces significant challenges in its leadership and work culture. Good, hardworking employees are often let go without clear reasons, leading to high turnover. The executives, particularly the CEO, show little concern for employee well-being or retention. Instead of fostering a positive, supportive environment, the company allows negativity and poor management to thrive, making it difficult for employees to feel valued or motivated. If CS Energy wants to improve, it needs to start by addressing these leadership issues, valuing its talent, and eliminating toxic behaviors that are dragging the company down.

Have been working here for 6 months and it's been a breath of fresh air. The company is working its way through its historic challenges and at the same time is forward-focused on transitioning the company, its assets and its people for the future - a diversified low-carbon energy portfolio. Such a great time to get involved.

The good thingsSo many opportunities to make a difference as the company navigates the energy transition. Friendly culture and great work environment.

The challengesWith the company growing at such a fast pace there have been challenges in terms of alignment and collaboration on key activities. The company is working hard to address this and changes have been noticeable.

There are better options available in the western downs region within this sector. Save yourself the pain and suffering, and learn from others' mistakes.

The good things- most staff working here are friendly and great to work with

The challenges- CS Energy as a company lacks integrity. based on its own defined core values - Advises one thing, then does another. - Over utilise of contractor staff to the company's advantage, in most cases turning a blind eye. - Career progress very limited for most, unless your in with certain groups. -
