Pros

Staff is a nice group of people, mostly young and new to the industry. Lots of opportunity for overtime (see Cons).

Cons

I've been in this industry for 20+ years and have never worked anywhere with such high turn over rates. In the less than 1 year time frame I was with Silk I saw 50% of the staff turn over. People would walk into the board room for a meeting with the Executive team and then leave the office never to be seen or heard from again. Management who claim that communication is their highest priority would never communicate where those people were. Management expects you to work overtime when they get busy and have no qualms about firing a team member at month end and expecting you to work more to make up for it. They'll tell you that you get lots of free meals, and you do, but that's because they're understaffed and need you to work overtime to make up for it. Pay is average for the industry, benefits are lousy. If you leave before 1 year they will NOT pay you for the PTO you have earned and while the law may allow for this, it's not the right way to treat people.

Silk Title Response

Thank you for your review. We value our employees and do offer overtime to those that do want to take advantage of earning extra money. We continue to evaluate our benefits, as we do offer Blue Cross and Blue Shield for our medical. A matching 401K program. A health benefits program that does earn employees credits. As well our employees have earned bonuses as well. As with any company, we do have turnover, but the statistic mentioned above at 50% is not accurate at all and very high. Again, thank you for the feedback as we are always looking at ways to improve out company.

Pros

The pros of working here - they are willing to train the inexperienced.

Cons

The turnover here is absolutely abhorrent. Within my first month here more than 5 people were fired or quit. After month 3 it was more than 15. They fire you with absolutely no prior warnings/disciplinary action. They’ll also keep an eye on if you’re applying to other jobs through Indeed. Apparently, they only want you to leave the company if they fire you. They use employment agencies so they don’t have to pay workers from their own payroll and then once you’re off your 90 day probation period and your paychecks start coming out of their payroll, they fire you. I think while I was there the longest anyone had worked there was 3 years, but almost everyone had been there under a year and realistically by the end of the year I can’t imagine any of them will still be employed there. If you want a company you can actually grow with- stay FAR away from Silk.
