      Pros

      Great friends. Great co-workers - if you get on a good client.

      Cons

      Boys club. Dishonest management. Does not promote from within unless you are a part of the club. Low pay for work done. No work life balance - especially for women with children. People here are scared for their jobs and hate coming to work. Don't get me wrong - many work very hard. Just don't reap the rewards for the work. Just get more work.

      Great company to learn from and develop yourself as a professional

      Pros

      SmithBucklin hires very smart and talented people who are always willing to share their knowledge. The company gives employees the opportunity to develop themselves professionally (which includes promotions within) and personally which I have not found at other companies I have worked for. Managers do not micromanage and handhold employees but they are always there to answer questions and/or provide guidance. You own your career, which can be a pro or a con. If you are not comfortable asking for new projects or tasks that you are interested in, how to develop within your career and move up within the company and be proactive in soliciting feedback from your team and supervisors, then this may not be a company for you. Employees are able to get a lot of exposure to senior management very early in their career. Every day is different in terms of work.

      Cons

      While I really enjoy the culture of SmithBucklin it can be hard to grasp and acclimate to; it is not for everyone, which is okay. The benefits are good but the pay and bonuses are lower than other industries. You need to be a team player and be okay with not always working independently in certain units as people really like to collaborate. Again this can be a pro or a con but this is a fast-paced environment and employees have to be able to multitask and ask for help when needed as we work with multiple clients and have a lot of work and deadlines to juggle for each client.

      Pros

      Great friends were made there. They hire very talented people!

      Cons

      I was breaking out in rashes because my workload was so heavy. There is NO work life balance. The tenure is ridiculously short for a work environment, I would't even know a person on the team was gone until I tried to contact them. They would 'disappear'. Employees are under utilized and unchallenged. The work is exhausting, not stimulating. The on-boarding (which is only about the company and policy and 'culture') is only three days then you are expected to know everything on your clients. Your team, which no one who has been there long enough to really know, will be able to tell you barely anything about the client.
