Pros

$15/hr starting salary, 5 days PTO plus accumulation over time, Affordable health insurance.

Cons

You will not receive a raise unless it is through promotion (no raises for anyone based longevity or merit). Management is selected through favoritism rather than competency or skill. Sexual Harassment and abuse is a regularity; while management might move an employee away from their abuser, the abuser is regularly allowed to remain part of the company, which includes people in positions of management. Feedback is asked for and rejected, loyal workers are fired for minuscule reasons, and the work environment encourages employees to work themselves to exhaustion, burnout, or illness.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, I hate to hear that you experienced these things at SimpliSafe. This is not at all the type of environment we are trying to cultivate here. I hope you will please reach out to us at peoplematter@simplisafe.com to share some more details about your concerns.

Pros

They feed you weekly, good bonus, great benefits.

Cons

They promote the laziest pepole imaginable who set the wrong example and are horrible for morale. Also finding problems and sabing the company time and space as well as money gets you disliked by the incompetent upper management that feels embarrassed and would rather it done wrong and inefficiently to save face.

We are very proud of the benefits we offer our employees, I am glad to hear that you feel the same! That being said, I am not happy to hear you had some negative experiences with management. This is definitely not the behavior that we support and to hear that you saw anything less than amazing leadership is very concerning to us. I encourage you to reach out to us directly to discuss this further. We appreciate your honest input.

Complaining won't get you far; team players is what we need!

Pros

* Not Overwhelming , but it can get super intense when deadlines need to be met and coffee is not refilled * Freedom to take your laptop home, so you have more control over your work load. * A lot of trust and support (when you ask for it, closed mouths don't get fed) * Its like a celebration every Friday when 5pm comes around and beer is beautifully displayed in the kitchen. * Work life balance is manageable if you are a time management focused person, if not then its still okay, as long as you show up and DO YOUR JOB.

Cons

*Starting Salary wage challenges your money management skills, especially if you live in Boston and in between apt arrangements *Sometimes drama can happen when there is lack of communication; however, things usually get resolved once everyone gets on the same page.
