Pros

SmithBucklin is a truly unique company that delivers professional services to the Association Management market and has been doing this for more than 65 years. The environment provides a teaming, innovative and collaborative approach and is a great place to learn, grow and gain hands on transferable skills. The company culture driven by its guiding principles are consistent and demonstrated on a daily basis throughout all levels of the company that keeps the focus on delivering outstanding client service and success.

Cons

The unique environment of working with volunteers that have a primary 'day job' and often the need to balance and demonstrate patience working through commitments and deliverables. It takes some time to get used to that balance and environment but when comfortable is very rewarding.

Pros

My tenure at SmithBucklin is just shy of two years and each day that I come to work, I’m more thankful than the next that I am fortunate enough to work for such an amazingly generous company. I don’t mean this in just a monetary way. Although how many companies reward their employees when they have a good year delivering successes to clients?! SmithBucklin does…with a new Ipad Air and an added bonus! What I am referring to is the countless opportunities that it offers its employees to develop, learn and improve both personally and professionally. Senior management is strong, in-tune, and always steers the company with sound and judicious decisions. As an employee owner (we are an ESOP and I own shares) I couldn’t be more proud and pleased with their efforts.

Cons

(I don’t think of this as a con)This is a fast paced work environment and not for those who don’t want to roll up their sleeves and work. However, hard work and dedication never goes unnoticed at SmithBucklin.
