Simon Property Group
I enjoy it
Guest Service Representative (Current Employee) – Noblesville, IN – July 17, 2018
I come in, clock in, get my gift cards out, put them up, log into the computer, log into the point of sale, and log into system. I serve customers as they come in, answer the phone, and do what they ask of me.
I have learned how to manage my time more wisely and to stay on track. I have really had to work on how to talk on the phone and be able to think on my feet.
The hardest part is being nice all the time.
The most enjoyable part of the job, is the time to breathe. Between customers, most of the time anyway, I can do what I want within reason. I can read a book, write, or work on homework for school.

Pros
Awesome OA, let you take days off when necessary
Cons
They give you jobs that aren't technically yours to do, so then it creates more problems sometimes
Loved that company
Executive Assistant to Executive Vice President (Former Employee) – Indianapolis, IN – July 16, 2018
Management team is excellent and leads the way for all to be successful. I retired in 2016 because I wanted to start my own business. Simon is very face paced.
Retail establishment
Operations Director (Former Employee) – Hagerstown, MD – July 3, 2018
Simon Property Group was the owner of the Premium Outlet. Ops Director position was the face of the Facility as I was onsite, out every day in the Facility.
Pros
Good working hours, Able to make positive changes, Opened other Outlet centers within in the United states and in other countries
Cons
Retail in general is a challange these days, with the internet shopping being so easy to use, I did all I could to keep the small "Mom and Pop" shops thriving in the challanging world of retail
Great place to work
LITIGATION PARALEGAL (Former Employee) – Indianapolis, IN – June 30, 2018
I worked at HQ as a Litigation Paralegal, and learned a lot. Paralegals work closely with their attorneys, and the team of paralegals are always willing to assist each other.
Pros
Many
Just ok.
Local Leasing Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Tempe, AZ – June 11, 2018
Simon Property Group is just an ok company. They dont really show any appreciation to their underpaid overworked employees and honestly felt like I was just a seat warmer who could be replaced for someone they could bring in and pay less.
80/20 goals, no change for sake of change
IS ANALYST (Former Employee) – Indianapolis, indiana – April 16, 2018
Only adapts newer tech if needed. If it aint broke, dont fix it.
80% of the goal can be reached with 20% of the effort, good enough. anything important will surface later or be baby-step implemented if time allows.
very silo'd...you can work for years and not know many people or what is going on outside your area.
great flex hours
parking provided
adapt to their culture or you will get flushed, but as long as you show signs of adapting to 'the simon way' you'll likely be around unless budget cuts are needed.

mall security
Public Safety Officer (Former Employee) – Port Richey, FL – April 15, 2018
i did foot patrol of all areas and all hall ways and also did detex at check point throught out the inside of the mall and also did outside patrol cheks of all parking lots and parking structures .
Demeaning attitude towards eemployees
Customer Service Manager/Merchant Liaison (Former Employee) – Orange Park, FL – April 12, 2018
The company had no real positive aspects for it's entry level employees. They offered no reason to incent it's employees to work harder and try to advance.
Pros
none
Cons
Ruthless slavelike management.
Local property makes or breaks it. Corporate needs to connect more.
Marketing Administrator (Current Employee) – Unknown, Anonymous – April 2, 2018
Simon Property Group will toughen you up in ways you couldn't imagine, so for that I'm grateful. However, nepotism is everywhere and although the local property determines your everyday (completely depends on the mall manager and this changes the dynamic of the office completely; luckily, mine was good), corporate will trickle down and that's where most of the toxicity lies. For anyone under the age of 35, if you're looking for creativity, you won't find it here. However, if you wish for stability and managerial growth, give it a shot. Corporate also makes decisions for the local level that aren't always applicable for the property itself so there is a disconnect. Also, if you're a POC.. your experience may be different. I won't go into it more than that.
Easy job, but low pay
Guest Service Representative (Current Employee) – Nashua, NH – March 28, 2018
I worked for Simon as a Guest Service Representative for 2 years at one mall, then the position was pretty much dissolved overnight, the customer service booth was taken down, and I was jobless without warning. I was pretty upset with the company. When I was asked to return seasonally at another Simon mall I hesitantly accepted the position (just to make some extra cash around the holidays). It’s an easy job, slow paced environment except at Christmastime then the workload increases as it does with any retail job. The pay is minimum wage with very little room for advancement so most people only work as a GSR as a second job to make extra cash, it’s not a career you can live off of unfortunately.
Pros
Short shifts, relaxed atmosphere, meet people
Cons
Rarely get breaks, no room for advancement, minimum wage
Great People
Office Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) – Oklahoma City, OK – March 19, 2018
The people I have had the privilege of working with at Simon Property Group have been nothing short of outstanding.
The work, even though I have taken on extra outside my own specific duties, is tedious but not challenging.
I would recommend this position to someone comfortable in their own day to day duties.

Working at Simon Property Group was a good experience; Administrative Assistant at a receptionist desk, Customer Service Trainer. Learned about mall management.
Good place to work.
Marketing Assistant (Former Employee) – Kennesaw, GA – February 20, 2018
Very competitive, but they do hire from within. Benefits were excellent. We had weekly meetings which were great and kept everyone on the same page. Management was not afraid to also do hard work. I learned a lot with Simon Property including event set up, and administrative functions. I worked there until May of 2014.
Wonderful place to work
General Manager (Current Employee) – Garland, TX – January 27, 2018
SPG is a wonderful place to work. They treat their employees great and the benefits are spectacular. The only reason I'm looking to relocate is my spouse is unhappy and our home is on the East Coast.
Enjoyable
Director, Marketing & Business Development (Former Employee) – Fort Lauderdale, FL – January 23, 2018
