Great job, bad local management.

Pros

The work was genuinely enjoyable and there was a lot to learn.

Cons

There was no way to progress up as when someone was fired, they'd make another upper management position absorb that one and the local managers were legally not qualified due to IAT certification requirements. Not fun.

Thank you for the review and I'm sorry to hear you are having a bad experience with local management at Kirtland. I have passed your comments along to our VP of Service Delivery for further review of your concern. SMS does attempt to promote from within whenever possible, however we also must ensure employees meet the technical qualifications, certifications and experience required for each position. Additionally, funding sometimes does play a factor in the fulfillment of our positions within each contract as well. If certifications are required, we provide training and expense reimbursement to ensure employees achieve all required certifications. Unfortunately I'm not aware of the exact concern you mentioned above, but I will certainly look into it further. Regardless, I'm glad you enjoyed your employment with SMS and were able to advance your skills. If things change down the road, please feel free to re-apply to employment with SMS. We love rehires! Thanks again for taking the time to write a review! -- - Melanie Shipley, Vice President, Human Resources

Thank you for the review. I'm glad you agree that we truly do care of our employees and their families! We take great pride in growing substantially over the years, but maintaining our small family culture! SMS was primarily a subcontractor for many years, however in the past 4 years, SMS has enjoyed being the Prime on many NETCENTS Awards. We will continue to work towards "priming" as many of our opportunities as possible. A healthy mix of both sub and prime contracts is a great environment for our size company. I agree that our CFO does his job well and that is one of the many reasons we are a healthy and profitable company! As the VP of HR, I am involved in many employee based decisions and I assure you he looks out for the well being of both our valued employees and the company overall. The SMS leadership team communicates at least weekly with our Project Managers and Regional Directors, but I will be sure to pass long your suggestion for more engagement. Thanks again for taking the time to review SMS! I wish you the best with your next adventure. -- Melanie Shipley, Vice President, Human Resources
