good place to start your career if you're ok with ambiguity - Manager Smithbucklin Employee Review

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of autonomy to manage your projects are you see fit Good flexibility, but it's contingent upon your boss and not applied consistently Wellness week - we all have off the last week of December without using PTO Ability for associates to get prompted rapidly and increase responsibilities

Cons

Sink or swim environment with limited back-up/training/support available Constant over-scoping: you are always expected to take on additional work and responsibilities. You're expected to be a "team player" and suck it up and just make it work without a reality check about what's reasonable. Expectation to regularly be available on nights and weekends. You never really get to escape your job.

Smithbucklin Response

Thank you for sharing your experience. In addition to our new permanent Wellness Week benefit, we also have offer a competitive PTO and holiday policy that provides time off throughout the year. Our Learning Center offers a variety of professional development courses live and on-demand, including LinkedIn Learning. We encourage any employee who feels a struggle with over-scoping or work/life balance to engage in an open discussion with their reviewing supervisor, HR business partner, or a senior executive to identify solutions or changes. Smithbucklin is deeply committed to the professional growth, health, and well-being of our employees.
