Smithbucklin reviews

Departments need to play nicer with each other, as one team. Working for the client should be the main goal, and that is what SB prides themselves on, however, their culture does not ring true to this philosophy. The methodologies one department uses may not be exercised in another, and there seems to be major kinks in the process, but upper management isn't willing to work on those issues.

There is little to no training, you will most likely be thrown onto multiple clients (in my case 7) and need to figure it out on your own. Upper management considers their associates and sr. Associates to be dispensable and the CEO refers to them as "apprentices", showing little to no respect for those that keep everything running. There are town hall meetings where you can ask questions however, questions submitted by my colleagues were screened and not permitted. Be prepared to work your tail off and be treated horribly by client volunteers. There is zero discretion by upper management and you can guarantee that anything you say in private will be repeated by your managers. Or emailed out to the entire department accidentally.
