Pretty on Paper - Anonymous employee SimonCRE Employee Review

This was a very hands on company that allowed you to get heavily involved on projects right away. This allows for early contributions to the company and a lot of learning.

It is extremely fast moving. This can be a pro for some, but can be a con for others. Just something to keep in mind. I enjoyed the pace.

Good location/close to restaurants A paycheck

Expect to get paid at least 20% below market value. Overworked and expected to take on others work with no extra pay. Oftentimes it’s work that isn’t even the responsibility of the person taking it on. No company vision. Frequent changes in management, with no actual changes. CEO is unreasonable and has a record of yelling at employees, cursing, and slamming items around when angry. Company values are not followed. Raises are extremely low/infrequent. Typical wealthy CEO/poorly paid employees. Bad PTO policy - it takes over a month to accrue one day of PTO. Inflexible WFH policy - 1 day a week if you’re lucky, but the CEO and upper management makes you and management paranoid for discipline if that or more days are taken. General company morale is low - because of all of the reasons above, I do not believe most people want to be working at SimonCRE. No in-house HR. They quit a year ago, and have since been replace with an outside HR… twice. Unprofessional emailing - the CEO and other higher ups are frequently misspelling words, or just responding with “ok”. Or the CEO clearly doesn’t even read the emails sent to him, and responds with questions that are covered in the email. It makes it nearly impossible to convey or communicate effectively.
