Thanks for sharing your experience. Smithbucklin’s performance and development check-in process includes five touchpoints per year to discuss progress towards objectives. These touchpoints are intended for employees and reviewing supervisors to have open and honest discussions about their careers, including the path to promotion. If you feel you would like to speak to someone else regarding your path to promotion, we encourage you, or any employee, to speak with their HR business partner, unit head, or a senior executive.

Business Outlook

Pros

Entrepreneurial culture, committed to building and growing a great business and strong culture for the long term. Opportunities to step up and be involved in how we work and who we are and want to be as an organization.

Cons

Teams are challenged with more work than resources and people to accomplish everything we would like to do; critical to keep an eye on balancing demands with a healthy pace to avoid burnout and turnover among good people.
