Pros

-Regular Schedule, although you may not always work the Monday-Friday you will always have the same 9-6 (or whichever shift your work) - Pretty casual work environment and extremely open minded. LGBTQ friendly. Come as you are. -A lot of growth potential in the company. If you are putting in the work you can become a supervisor or a lead or HR. One HR member, Peter, was promoted 3 times in his first year. - Pretty decent starting pay. - Unlimited Overtime - Inexpensive benefits (blue cross blue shield, delta dental, and vision) -401k - Customer service appreciation week - 2 Company events per year and they are awesome. - Company pays for team building outings.

Cons

- You are sitting at a desk all day. -You might gain some weight sitting at the desk all day. -Not ideal if you don't like speaking to people on the phone.

A great place to work

Pros

SimpliSafe is an awesome place to work. Every kind of person works here: comic book nerds, jocks, introverts, extroverts. And they all get along. The best perks: • Unlimited time off • Beer Fridays and rockin employee parties • Super generous health insurance/dental/vision plan • Great location in downtown Boston • Free home security system

Cons

The open office environment can get a bit loud and it can be hard to think. Departments can be a tad cliquey, but the divide isn't too crazy. Biggest downside—no 401k. But the bonuses almost make up for it.

Pros

No dress code Free beer at 5PM every Friday Nap room in the back that you can access on your lunch break Downtown Boston - near T stations - T commuting passes are available. The people are seemingly nice Unlimited overtime Health - Dental - Vision benefits

Cons

The training is only FOUR days than you are on the floor! It might not sound that bad but training is VERY in depth! The interview will be with two people who will also train you as well. They want to know what you want to do in life, why you think you'd be good at the job, your experience and etc. The hours are from 9-6 and you get two days off in a row. I was referred through a staffing agency and what I can say is that they are hiring ASAP! I was called in to start three days after I interviewed. During the interview you will also be asked to write an email telling a customer that you apologize but there was a delay in their order. SimpliSafe is a self installed alarm company (with NO cameras) Training is basically learning about all of the components and what they do. They will breeze through training so please make sure to pay attention. Your probationary period is 60 days. IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL: YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW EVERY SINGLE COMPONENT AND HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT EACH! This is an open call center environment. Once you go through your training, you will be placed on a team sitting next to a lead. Your team will also have a supervisor on it as well. Pay is every two weeks. Since they BREEZE through training, they basically want you to put the customer on PAUSE everytime you have a question that you cannot answer on your own .. FRUSTRATING! (Hence, why training should be longer.) Anyway, if you need something to get you by than by all means. Your hourly rate will never go above $13/Hour. The phones go live at 9 AM and you must be clocked in by then. If you learn quickly - have a customer service background - like to speak to clients who have been waiting on the phone for 20 minutes - and can enjoy a beer every Friday than this job is for you. Like the title says , to each their own. E-mail them they are hiring.
