Pros

Good place for someone starting out to get a clearance and understand the DoD business structure.

Cons

Low wages, abq contract lead is rude, promise for raises that are never given. If you want to move up in the company, they say that you have to "prove yourself" in the position before giving you the salary. When in reality it's to save money on the contract .

I'm sorry to hear you did not have a good experience with SMS. We do carefully vet all new employees, as well as promotions to ensure each individual is qualified for the position and is the best candidate for the job. At times, this may mean having someone work on some of the position requirements first to make sure they are the best fit. Once an individual is formally promoted, a compensation change may be warranted at that time or would be completed during the annual evaluation cycle. This is standard business practice and is not a means of saving money. We believe in recognizing and rewarding hard work at SMS, which includes promotion from within. We wish you the best in your future endeavors and hope you find what you are looking for with your next opportunity. -- Melanie Shipley, Vice President, Human Resources

Thanks for the 5-star rating! We're glad you enjoy working at SMS and recognize our employee focus culture too. While smaller contracts may have limited grow depending on their location, SMS consistently promotes from within and offer great training programs, certification and tuition reimbursement, and leadership groups to help professional development. We appreciate the feedback! -- Melanie Shipley, VP, Human Resources
