Great place to work if you are male or white

Pros

Salaries are pretty good. If you are out on a contract your job is fairly safe until the contract ends. They keep employees by paying good salaries not by the way they treat them!

Cons

Management is very controlling and behind the scenes at corporate is very negative and judgemental. They are very good at covering things up!! They treat women very poorly and have always had trouble maintaining female staff members. They have had to do a lot of creative reporting to cover this and a lot of other negativities up. There are very few women that make it into management at SMS. I think that speaks for itself. Coworkers are afraid they will lose their job if they speak up about anything. Management is good at hiding everything from Bert.

Outstanding place to work!

Pros

SMS looks at every employee as a family member. Whether you're the President or a Cable Technician, you feel welcome. This is something that was very important to me when I made the decision to come work for them. Management has a clear direction for growth and outstanding past performance- because of this our company has been growing rapidly which is important for someone like me who was looking for a stable job.

Cons

As SMS continues to grow, they will need more office space. As of now, the corporate office is completely full. With growth will come more administrative needs so they need to prepare for that.

Small company environment with large company resources

Pros

At SMS they treat their employees like a family which is important in this type of industry where contractors sometimes rarely go to the home office. The company is still privately owned and the CEO still comes in every day. As with other small business when you do well your work is rewarded and every one knows eventually (this can be a con if you do not do so well). They work with some great well known federal agencies which, look great on your resume even when SMS is not recognized. Over all a great place to work with good people and an attentive senior management.

Cons

The cyclical nature of the type of work that SMS does can be a bit unnerving. They live and die by the contracts they hold. If SMS or the prime contractor holder that SMS often is under is kicked off the contract it can leave many employees in the hunt for a new position. Fortunately SMS has been good at weathering these storms.
