My experience at SmithBucklin was intense - like being dropped in the middle of a hurricane. Sink or swim!

Business Outlook

Pros

The core professional group was grea to work with. Decent amount of travel which was fun if you were with a good team. Good office location.

Cons

Terrible leaders at the top; core professional group was women and management was mostly men. Lots of interaction with volunteers who stifle your ability to do your job and do not respect deadlines. Low pay, hard to live in Chicago. Insufficient technology to do your job.
