Simantel Group Reviews

Smaller agency and heavily industry focused so not a lot of variety in the work.

This company sets employees up for burnout with unrealistic expectations and over promising to clients. Work/life balance is more of a slogan than a reality—many regularly put in 12–15 hour days, week after week, with little more than a hollow “Thank you for your hard work” in return. The “we’re like a family” mantra is a glaring red flag. Once leadership decides you’re no longer a good fit—often for unclear or political reasons—they begin subtly pushing you out. Most who fall out of favor are gone within six months. When you are eventually fired, it will be during a :30 phone/Teams call in which you are NOT allowed to speak besides acknowledging that they are firing you. No exit interview, no professionalism, and no respect for their "family member" or "Rockstar" as they love to label the overworked and underpaid. Compensation is insultingly low unless you’ve been there since the dawn of time or were poached from another company. Questioning glaring inconsistencies in pay or decision-making often gets you labeled as “difficult” or “not a team player.” Despite loudly claiming a commitment to DEI, the employee base includes fewer than 10 non‑white staff—hardly a diverse environment and the DEI program is ran entirely by white women. This performative gesture only highlights how deeply misaligned their messaging is with their current reality. Most of the leadership team aren’t leaders by choice or expertise—they simply happened to be around when roles needed filling. As a result, directionless inertia drives the culture, not strategy or vision.
