Pros

* Was an innovative company with a high purpose (keep every home secure) * Strategy made sense * Free home monitoring services for employees

Cons

* Leadership falls short on executing the strategy. Communication is weak and often too lengthy and confusing * HR is incredibly well-staffed. The biggest HR team I have seen for this size of business. CEO clearly favors the HR team * Very calculating leadership team. Tells you that you do a great job. But if you ever dare to leave the company, they will slam the door in your face and retaliate. You’d think they can do better and be the big boy or girl, particularly with such a big HR team.

Thanks for your feedback. There were just a few points I wanted to address. First and foremost, I want to underscore that we value and respect all current and former SimpliSafers - we’re fully supportive of employees who choose to build their careers here or if their path takes them elsewhere, so I’m sorry to hear that you felt otherwise. I’d welcome the opportunity to learn more if you were open to reaching out. Additionally, our employee retention rate is actually really high - as with any company, we’re disappointed when people leave; however, we’re very proud of our retention

Pros

Great teammates, very collaborative. It’s clear everyone here believes in the mission. Competitive salary

Cons

New leadership is rudderless. Flailing and constantly making changes to leaders. No more long term incentive plan for managers and lower. It feels like they’ve been figuring out things as they go since the acquisition by GTCR. Low opportunity for advancement.
