Smithbucklin reviews

-Workload is extremely unrealistic and unevenly distributed, even within the same department. -Leadership compounds workload problem. Managers are too overloaded to effectively people manage. Certain directors actively interfere in employees’ ability to do the work. -Some members of leadership make borderline inappropriate advances toward mid-level/junior staff (who are mostly young women. -HR exists to carry out whims of directors/unit heads. Does not ensure proper conduct of managers/directors toward their employees. -Rampant and endemic high turnover. -Appalling gaps in benefits, e.g., no recognized pregnancy leave. Women must take it as a short-term disability.

Training: there is no training at all. everyone is expected to train themselves without guidance or support, while projects are thrown at them. If you do not know how to do something it is counted against you as a failure. Managers: Lack of transparency and a tendency to scapegoat, micromanage and belittle employees. Managers held employees to higher standards than they did themselves and often publicly called subordinates incompetent. Workload / Work-life Balance: there is none. employees are slotted to 5 or more clients with each client having the work of at least 2 people. with so many tasks, it can be difficult to stay on top of things and you are constantly told to be a team player, or that everyone else has the same amount of work so why can't you keep up? In this environment, it is impossible to complete everything in an 8 hour day and if you do not you are written up. Hybrid - Work Environment: the managers have a list that gets printed from the building every week and tells them who shows up and who doesn't. If you do not show up you are written up, however, write-ups are not done for everyone. Mandatory in-office days are only enforced for some employees, favoritism is a factor here.
