Pros

The company itself is not bad to work for, there are a few perks that are intriguing such as the Beer-Fridays and the social events that are held for the employee, and I should also add there is room for advancement.

Cons

However when the pay and benefits, there is a definite lack. At SimpliSafe we make around $2 per hour LESS than comparable jobs, and while the opportunity for OT is appreciated, I don’t think I am the only one who feels caught. In order to plan for our future we are forced to work way more hours than we really should have to because the rate of pay is so comparably low. Many people are leaving this job to go to other places because of this and it seems like company leadership is not listening to us when we individually express a need for higher pay. This is a major issue, that I wish would be addressed or at least discussed.

Pros

- Highly interactive environment with lots of opportunities to meet people - Management is *highly* flexible about folks taking time off for personal needs - Free beer on Fridays!

Cons

- LOW PAY! The current wage is capped at $13.50/hour. This isn't really a livable wage living in Boston. Most entry level jobs pay at least $15/hour simply because it's such an expensive place to be. Unlimited OT opportunities are nice, but you shouldn't *have* to work overtime to be able to save a little or even have a life outside of work. - Slacking is also tolerated to an absurdly high extent. Sometimes folks take 30+ minute breaks while clocked in, and no disciplinary action is ever taken other than a slap on the wrist. - Promotions are extremely political; you're more likely to move up if you're a friend of a current supervisor than if you actually work hard. - People are allowed to do jobs that they are not qualified for. Punctuation and grammar seen in emails by company employees is regularly atrocious. Some of these folks are great on the phones, but they shouldn't be allowed to write emails to customers.

Pros

Very friendly environment, 10 days of PTO, unlimited overtime hours at time and a half, full benefits, convenient location, accommodating with schedules

Cons

Very low pay, very rude and needy customers, the job is very boring and very repetitive, high turn-over rate, some opportunity to move up to higher positions, but doesn't come with an adequate increase in pay and expect you to work a lot of overtime. The schedule varies as the office is open 7 days a week from 9am-6pm
