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.

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.

Potential Employees Beware!

Pros

Occasional free meals were provided

Cons

You will get chewed up and spit out without a second thought. Executive management is extremely arrogant and shady. Everything they do is psychological warfare. You need to suck up to the Executive management to survive, and even that might not save you. The senior and middle management is full of "yes men and women." If you want to believe the fake positive reviews for this company, you probably would have enjoyed the Kool Aid in Jonestown.

Pros

Average pay. Young work environment.

Cons

This company is completely unprofessional. The CEO claims that he never fires people and that they are the Google of the title industry. This couldn't be more incorrect. They have fired on almost a monthly basis. The firing had nothing to do with work performance. If you were not a favorite, then they wouldn't even do as much as acknowledge your existence. They would use any excuse they could find to justify firing you. On multiple occasions, the CEO of the company would make fun of the recently fired employees. They environment of this company is very high school like. If you were not part of the "popular" group then you were at risk of losing your job and getting mocked in the process. Don't even think about saying hello to one of the upper level management because they will not acknowledge your presence. They have no respect for hard working employees. They claim to pay excellently with a great bonus structure and overtime hours. There were no bonuses and employees were asked to leave work early when approaching their 80 hours (bi-weekly pay). This company puts a lot of emphasis on communication and transparency yet they do not act on the words that they speak. There were multiple meetings where they would gather the entire office in a room and have everyone speak to the faults of their coworker. This was not a productive practice and only made the work environment more awkward. If you tried to communicate any issues within your department to the management, you were putting yourself at risk for being fired.
