Pros

If you know you're job well, for the most part management will leave you alone

Cons

At the Silicon Valley location this is absolutely true: -They hire people off the street who know nothing for you to train to replace you. -Pay has been vastly cut since my last time there. -Racism and favoritism is rampant. -I was one of their most profitable employees and couldn't get a raise. -Constantly threaten laying people off because of poor profits then report double digit surpluses to corporate.

We’re sorry you left SIMCO with these feelings and wish you would have expressed them to our management while you were here. As mentioned above, any racism is ABSOLUTELY NOT TOLERATED at SIMCO and that would have been immediately addressed. We’d like to hear more about your claims even now… please contact any of our senior leaders that are listed on our website via phone or send an email to info@simco.com.”

Pros

Great camaraderie amongst some of the technicians.

Cons

Racism is common. Asian employess are favored over the American born employees. All equally as miserable. Standards are constantly breaking. Management has no system of training, They like to put people in boxes and let them work. Mandatory overtime cause they dont know how to manage the work flow.

We’re very surprised at these comments because SIMCO has an absolute commitment and priority to treat every employee with respect and fairness, and any racism or bias is absolutely not tolerated. We wish you would have brought your feelings to management’s attention while you were here because your concerns would have definitely been handled quickly and fairly.

One of the worst places I ever worked

Pros

They offered employee paid insurance with employee only paid premiums. But, what's really so "PRO" about that?

Cons

Starting salary for position was low. Was told by upper tier manager at the time that my offer was all that was allowed for the position. After accepting the position, I was told by the Branch Manager that the starting salary I had asked for was well within the ranges for my position. One year later, the same Branch Manager did not submit the required paperwork "in time" for anyone in the Branch to receive a small cost of living raise. A short time later a new "Upper Manager" paid a visit to our Branch and held private meetings with each of us. When asked, I expressed my concern over the pay issue I had encountered including the reason given for the cost of living raise issue. His response included the words "I'm going to have to keep an eye on you." This company is primarily staffed by ex military men from the Navy. In my experience, any female or non-military veteran is treated extremely poorly and subjected to the "Good 'Ole Boy" mentality.

We are sorry SIMCO was not the best career fit for you. However we wish you the best in your future endeavors. SIMCO offers competitive wages, benefits and 401k plans to all employee. Many of our employees have previous military experience, however that does not define our entire workforce. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
