Safeguard Properties Reviews

Pros

I have been employed here almost 8 years. The PTO is fantastic, there is much flexibility. The company only asks that you give them the time you are paid for at 100%, as you should be doing. Benefits are a little pricey but well rounded. Work from home and other great perks.

Cons

millennial mentality is a challenge for older peers.

Pros

Pay is decent, some of my co workers are cool

Cons

Micromanagement was over the top, unbelievably over the top. I never actually knew what my priorities were, I would be told to do something specific and then get yelled at for not doing something else that I was told not to worry about/wasn't a priority because something else was more important. Upper management has made the decision to send essential business units overseas which from what I can tell has essentially tanked the quality of the product and the task force in place to correct it was essentially ignored for over a year. The Texas office has absolutely no room for advancement, they continue to shrink the office.

Pros

Working from home and having a flexible schedule was a definite plus. It allowed me to make time to go back to school and pursue other passions. If you don't mind being quiet and alone, it can be very isolated and peaceful. The work itself was not difficult. Decent benefits offered.

Cons

The management structure makes everything extremely impersonal; I never even spoke to the manager of my department and I doubt she knew who I was. There are no avenues to provide feedback. Nobody listens to the people at the bottom of the totem pole. They are so obsessed with maintaining the management and department structure that things are unnecessarily difficult because of the chain of command. Wages were low. Little opportunity to grow if you aren't someone's favorite. Big turnover rate in some departments. Downsizing and outsourcing jobs to capitalize funds these days.

Pros

Pay is competitive, good benefits, on-site amenities, office culture, casual dress.

Cons

No room for growth, attendance policy, stressful environment/workload, bad work/life balance.
