Pros

- Lots of overtime opportunities - Hybrid

Cons

- Below-Average Pay: Compensation is not competitive with industry standards, making it difficult to justify long-term commitment. - Minimal Incentives: Bonuses and salary increases are rare and often insignificant, leading to low motivation among employees. - Poor Communication: Lack of clear and effective communication between teams and management results in frequent misunderstandings and project misalignment. - Lack of Accountability: A culture of blame-shifting makes it difficult to foster teamwork and trust, often leading to unnecessary stress and inefficiencies. - Limited Career Growth: With little investment in employee development and professional advancement, long-term career progression within the company is challenging. - High Turnover & Low Morale: Due to the combination of inadequate compensation, poor leadership, and a lack of recognition, employee morale suffers, and turnover remains high.

We are disappointed to here you did not enjoy your time at Epstein. You state the turnover is high and employee morale is low which is incorrect. Based the title you listed, you worked in our Architecture/Interiors department. We haven't had anyone resign from that department since the beginning of 2023. We have extremely strong leadership in these disciplines and lots of opportunity for growth given the number of new projects coming into the firm. Unfortunately it sounds like it just wasn't a good fit for you. We hope you have found a better fit elsewhere.

Pros

There are some really smart people here and the company offers 1/2 day Fridays. Those are the only positives that come to mind.

Cons

Low salary, very low salary, and the benefits are fine, Nothing special. The company is run by the same 5 people who have been here for 30+ years and won't change. It's like opening a can of worms when you realize what all is going on... and nothing will ever change. Other reviews from years ago still stand true in regard to raises, micro-management, and departmental politics.

I am sorry you feel your salary is low. I encourage you to speak to your manager or HR to discuss your concerns. It may not seem like it at times but management does care and wants Epstein's employees to be happy and fulfilled.

Pros

First I think 2.5 Stars fits better Project managers are good people and a joy to work with when not full throttle towards deadlines. When they do have after work events they are very fun. Lots of different types of projects to work on/the fast pace helped me grow rapidly in my skills, though it was not great in the moment Holidays on Friday also get Monday off.

Cons

Not great salary and benefits. As mentioned in other reviews it really is a penny pinching company, not much training, billing overhead is a no no, no laptop, and lots of this is client building project meaning not many hours to work on it. People seem so focused on work its hard to build relationships with coworkers

We are glad to see you listed both pros and cons. No company is perfect and Epstein is not the exception to this rule. Triannual checkups are coming up soon. We encourage you to be open with your manager and talk about your concerns. We are always looking for feedback on how we can improve.
