Pros

There's nothing good about working here.

Cons

When I started working here I thought I was doing something good, but then I realized the manipulation, the lies I was being fed, and the overall haram environment and values of this company. The product may be halal on a surface level, but the company, the management, and financial aspect of the company are haram. The company cares more about its image and looking Islamic rather than actually putting those into action. Underpaying the employees, overworking employees with no overtime pay, and openly celebrating pagan holidays that are haram. Management was nice at the beginning and with time they started acting like any other kaffir management with no fear of Allah. The CEO is one of the fakest, it’s probably why he goes by a white name rather than his actual name, they’re all white washed American wannabes. The history of the money is the biggest question, anytime you ask its claimed to be halal but who are these private investors and where did they get their money? Once I asked too many questions they started pushing me out. HR/Marketing will of course reply to this with a political response trying to do damage control because the truth is coming out. My suggestion to Muslims who read these reviews, don’t work here they’re not halal.

Not many at all.

We are extremely sorry to hear this, as we pride ourselves on our diverse and inclusive workforce culture. Guidance Residential's staff and management include people of various faiths and nationalities. In addition, we celebrate all holidays, whether they are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, or other holidays. During a few of our potlucks, we actually have contests where our employees dress up in their country's attire and often bring dishes traditional to their culture. Please reach out separately to our Head of HR so that your concerns can be properly investigated.
