Pros

There are no pros to working there.

Cons

I accepted a full-time sales role at this company despite the negative reviews online, hoping things might have changed and needing employment quickly. Unfortunately, my experience confirmed many of the concerns I had read beforehand. From day one, I showed up with a positive attitude, ready to learn and perform. However, it quickly became clear that the environment was unstable. I was one of only three sales reps — the other two had been there for about two months and had yet to close a single sale. While the position offered a small base salary, it relied heavily on commission — difficult to earn given the circumstances. We were calling existing customers who had invested during the COVID period, and nearly all of them expressed the same frustrations: no returns on their investment, unclear timelines, and a lack of transparency from the company. Many just wanted their money back, but weren’t able to get it. Internally, communication was inconsistent, and morale was low. Management often reassured us that changes were coming, but no improvements materialized. After two weeks of no progress — not just for me, but for the entire team — we were abruptly let go without warning. The CEO blamed us for not reading a Sunday afternoon email sent to our work accounts, asking us to come in later Monday, then proceeded to terminate two of us with vague reasoning about the company “going in a different direction.” In my opinion, this company lacks transparency with both its employees and its clients. The promises made — both to customers and staff — did not match reality. Based on what I saw and experienced firsthand, I would strongly caution anyone considering working for or investing with this company. In summary, the core issues seem to stem from poor leadership at the top. In my experience, CEO Craig Cecilio has not demonstrated the leadership qualities needed to foster trust, transparency, or a healthy work environment. This has contributed to a toxic culture and a lack of direction that ultimately hurts both employees and customers.

We appreciate the feedback and take it seriously. Our business is long-horizon real estate investing. These assets are illiquid by design: capital is committed for an extended hold, and returns are realized at exit, not on a short timeline. Our first responsibility is the preservation of investor capital, and our decisions are measured against that. The role was relationship-focused — understanding our existing investors and their capacity to participate in future opportunities. It is demanding work that requires comfort with a long-term model, and it does not produce quick wins. We restructured the function, and we recognize that an abrupt change is difficult for anyone affected. On transparency: we have held live investor webinars every month for the past two years, and investors are briefed regularly on the direction of the firm. The past several years have been difficult across real estate; through them we have stayed focused on the assets and on the people who entrusted us with their capital. We will continue to communicate directly, in strong markets and weak ones alike.

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.
