Pros

The people who work there are so nice and actually want to see you succeed.

Cons

Leadership doesn't understand the issues at the associate/coordinator levels, and they don't seem to care AT ALL.

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. We typically gather formal feedback through employee surveys a few times a year. We encourage any employee who has feedback about their experience and how we can improve to include comments in the surveys. Employees can also share feedback with their reviewing supervisors, unit heads, and HR business partners at any time. We're glad to hear you valued your experiences with our people during your time here.

Thanks for your feedback. We don't want any employee to feel like management or HR is unresponsive to their requests or concerns. There are typically several avenues for an employee to escalate issues beyond HR or your manager, such as your unit head, another executive within the company, our chief people officer, the CEO, the HR hotline, and the employee Glint surveys distributed throughout the year.

Pros

You learn a lot in a short amount of time and work with amazingly talented and fun people. If you start out at a lower level of pay, you do qualify for overtime, which is nice because you will work more than 40 hours a week. Working with associations will expose you to many different industries and personalities, which is a great way to grow professionally.

Cons

The classic overworked and underpaid saying is true at SmithBucklin. Turnover is extremely high at this company for that very reason, which creates problems and added stress for existing employees that then have to take on more work in the interim and constantly help train new employees that don't last. The benefit packages here are mediocre at best when you compare them with other employers, even much smaller ones.

Thank you for your review. Smithbucklin is deeply committed to the health, well-being, and professional growth of our employees. Our comprehensive and competitive benefits are designed to address both current and changing needs of our employees. We do extensive evaluation of our benefits packages each year, and following employee feedback last year, we are looking at new ways we can deliver perks. Following the success of our Wellness Week experiment last year, we announced this week that Wellness Week will go permanent to allow emlployees to shut down fully to plan time with family or travel. We continue to invest in an operations transformation to address inefficiencies identified through the experiences of our employees. We also conduct market assessments of positions and salaries and adjust an employee’s salary if needed to remain competitive.
