Pros

This place has a lot of outward spirit and a tremendous amount of energy . It's all surface, however, for the underlying need to attract people to continue to enter the revolving door and grow a client base founded on the appearance of a customer centered work environment.

Cons

I worked for this place for over ten years. Ten solid good years. In ten years I made no more that $40,000/year. When I asked for a small raise, the management told me I was 'vanilla'. They told me, "they just didn't see it in me." They told me "I didn't take ownership of my projects." They were rude, they were condescending. They were arrogant. For employing a person for 10 years, you would think they would know and understand the value of what an employee brings to the table. It's a shame they've driven an eclectic and creative work environment into a cold, heartless money tank. Beware, all the fun and fluff is just outward appearance... here there be monsters.

We read your review with great interest. Employees often come into our organization in one role and aspire to something else. We love that, and we try to support them. We have so many people that came here in one role and are now in a different one because their skills took them in a new direction and success followed. This is in the best interest of growth for the employees and Simantel. We’re sorry you are disappointed with your time at Simantel, and we wish it wasn’t the case. We believe in providing our employees an environment in which to learn and grow, hoping they will make the most of the opportunities they have. We know it doesn’t feel good to think you did not accomplish what you wanted to at Simantel, but we hope you have been able to move forward in your career and accomplish those things where you are now.
