Pros

I've been working for Simplero 1.5 years and I've been really happy the whole time. Great team, with lots of flexibility on location and hours, and lots of opportunities to grow within the company. Although working remotely, there are many opportunities to connect with the team which is great. The support team managers really want the team to be happy and proactively reach out to you for feedback and make changes happen. The recently introduced employee benefits when working full time for them are also a big advantage (annual leave, sick leave, paid breaks, equipment reimbursement...).

Cons

Remote working can be lonely sometimes (although this will happen with any remote job you get)

Pros

Some good human beings work here.

Cons

As other reviews have mentioned, the CEO is the issue. It starts with subpar pay and no benefits. The CEO doesn’t believe in western medicine, so there is no healthcare. No bonus, no 401k, no maternity leave and in most instances, folks are hired as 1099 contractors (working 40+ hours a week) to bypass the company having to pay taxes. The CEO’s pitch is that he is looking for people who are hungry to learn and are interested in less pay and more mentorship and education. He has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on coaching and will share that with you. What you’ll get is a CEO that is more like a real-life Pinterest board of motivational quotes, than a seasoned executive. A total gimmick. He unfortunately has no idea how to apply any of his teachings. This self-proclaimed “visionary” excels at providing disorganized thoughts and ideas. He is impulsive and will make business decisions without thinking through the risks, time, effort, budget, or resources needed. When it comes to managing people or process, he has no experience or desire. He is a poor communicator that has extreme difficulty sharing expectations. Good luck trying to get goals, milestones, deadlines, or feedback. It will be ambiguous at best. His enormous ego and low EQ creates major frustration amongst the team that leads to a revolving door for any position working with or near the CEO. From a business standpoint, this company has not grown revenue in 10+ years because of Calvin’s incompetence. He can’t get out of his own way. Trust me, it’s not worth your time or effort. You don’t want to work here.

Pros

– Excellent communication from the CEO and leadership team. Great working dynamic. – CEO and the team are dedicated to having a positive impact on the world – Open, honest, and constructive feedback is provided with the desire to help team members grow – Love the work-life balance and schedule flexibility – Generous and unexpected profit share paid out at the end of the year – CEO that genuinely cares about his team Note: Although Simplero is not perfect, I genuinely love working for Calvin and this company and have grown so much over the past year.

Cons

- A lot of change happens. It's rarely a negative change but can be hard to adjust to sometimes. I’ve also seen a lot of growth throughout the company due to change.
