Great place to build a career - Sr. Director Smithbucklin Employee Review

4.0

Oct 3, 2022

Sr. director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to build a career. Diverse experience that can be applied to roles in many other industries. Access to senior leadership in both Smithbucklin and in the industries you serve. Ability to build skills in many different areas. Great people (both staff and clients). Work can be very rewarding.

Cons

The matrix environment can be challenging during times when everyone is stretched. Reporting to Sr. Management and Volunteer Leadership simultaneously can leave you streched since neither has total visibility into the other. When staff turnover is high, the need to work in multiple roles to provide coverage can make work-life balance extremely challenging.

Smithbucklin Response

We appreciate you sharing your experience with us! At Smithbucklin we love hearing you have enjoyed the diverse experience you receive from the roles, clients, and industries they serve. We understand the matrix environment can be difficult to navigate sometimes, and we hope to continue to build an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
