Big name to work for, depending on your team you might have a great experience

Cons

HR does not do anything about complaints, and employees have been retaliated against for reporting management

Pros

I love the neighborhood, a lot of growth opportunities because the company is so large with so many different brands, I had wonderful co workers and several very supportive managers, tuition reimbursement was great and there are some other good perks and benefits

Cons

Some upper management is a bit toxic and those attitudes can trickle down into the day to day at times, nepotism hires are very much a thing, I think the company is invested in an old-school, dated idea of what the company culture should be and is too hesitant to modernize and become a contemporary company which will be detrimental to them in the long run. I gave four stars though because I spent a few years there and am thankful for the experiences I had during my time at SM. The company is very large and I would say that your day to day experiences are really going to depend on your direct manager and the teams you work with. I knew some people with very difficult bosses who did not have as favorable of a time at the company as I did.

Cool company but can be toxic

Pros

Often promote from within, can move around to different departments. Casual environment, fun people. Employee discount

Cons

In the Qns corp office there is lots of favoritism and lack of professionalism that trickles down from upper management. Hours are long 9-6pm, exempt employees are expected to work late hours, take calls in evening and weekends or are made to feel like you don't care about your job.
