Pros
Early dismissal on Fridays, the location, the document services/records team, and the settlement team
Cons
Where do I even begin... PLEASE STOP THE MICROMANAGING. Now I completely understand that we should not be able to use our phones during work hours, but Simon & Simon won’t even let you have your phone at your desk BEFORE you’re clocked in. That means they’re telling you what to do before they’re even paying you. The clock in/clock out policies are crazy, you’re allowed two 15 minute breaks a day but only between the hours of 10am-11am and 3pm-4pm. Unless it’s between that time, you better get ready to act like a robot. I once got reported for getting out of my desk to talk to my friend for 1 minute. Mind you, I’m one of the employees that very rarely gets up from their desk. There’s no leniency at all. No overtime offered when you have to work holidays. Several people missed Christmas Eve and Christmas with their families last year because they weren’t able to make it home. No work from home option ever. If weather is bad, they don’t let you leave early. I’ve literally sat in Suburban Station for over an hour trying to get home in a snow storm. Meanwhile our CEO was on vacation somewhere laying on a beach not worried about our safety. Some teams are treated way better than others. The team I worked for worked themselves for 8.5 hours straight just trying to make their numbers. They push numbers on you so hard that the quality of the work actually becomes pitiful. You get a 401k after a year but they don’t match anything. Starting salary for me was 37K but I was expected to work like I was making 60K. PTO isn’t great. Dress code is business casual but CEO walks around in jeans all day. Have you ever heard lead by example?
