Pros

Pros? That's laughable. There are absolutely no pros to working at Diversyfund. You don't gain experience, you don't gain knowledge, you gain nothing.

Cons

I will echo the last review and say the CEO is a complete nut job. He have an inferiority complex that is completely crippling to his company. He freaks out every 5th and 20th (Pay Day) and threaten to fire all of his employees. Everyone ask, "What does he do all day?" loudly without hesitation. People ask, "What does he do all day." Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Well, I take that back. He performs the following functions: Hovers behind employees and watch them work (made us feel completely paranoid) Talk about himself and his fitness Puts down people right in front of them Paces around the office until someone talks to him Negotiates your contract and then renegotiates your contract a month later if he's having a rough month

Sorry to hear you had a negative experience at Craig's old company, CCFG. I understand that it was a high-pressure sales environment in a tough industry where many sales employees were not able to make as much as they hoped if they were not able to consistently bring in revenue. FYI, CCFG closed in 2016 in preparation for the new real estate development firm and equity crowdfunding platform that Craig and I incorporated in Delaware on August 18, 2016. We are very proud of the new company we've built and the many milestones its reached this past year, including paying a full 18% per year on our recent Balboa Avenue project. I wish you nothing but the best in your career.

Pros

You know what not to do

Cons

It difficult for me to put my entire experience into words. So I’ll keep it short. There is nothing new with this company. Reviews dating back 6 years talking about the horrible work culture, toxicity, issues within the business… and Craig is at the center of it. It’s easy for him to shallowly take accountability saying everything falls on him because he’s the CEO and he takes responsibility. But there’s fake accountability and real accountability. He has destroyed every team that has come through those doors and has rubbed every employee the wrong way treating them with disrespect. There’s no other way to put it other than he’s a flat out narcissist. And it’s honestly sad. The company has so much potential and the team when I was there was great as I’m sure past people were as well. But at the end of the day you reap what you sow. And over 8 years and hundreds of employees that has walked through the doors and he still hasn’t learned how to treat people. Along with his self destructive behaviors. If you work there, you’ll be able to tell his true colors in the first month. He never will and his business will go no where because of it. What a shame. If there was an option to put zero stars I would.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. We'll keep our response measured and direct. The position was a relationship and qualification role — staying close to existing investors, helping them understand the market, and identifying those positioned to reinvest before handing that forward. Investment transactions themselves are executed only by the firm's senior members, that structure is deliberate. The qualification work is a genuinely difficult skill with a steep learning curve, and the standard for it is high. Not everyone grows into it. DiversyFund operates lean, and when a role isn't working the firm makes that decision quickly. That is hard on the people affected, and we don't treat it lightly. We also take criticism of our leadership and culture seriously — including the criticism here. We won't relitigate any individual's experience in a public forum, out of respect for the people involved. The firm would rather be judged by how it operates over time than by how it argues in a comment. We wish you well.
