How employees describe working at SmithBucklin

Honesty about deliverables. A lot of staff are hired just out of college. That's cool and all, but the client doesn't have agency over those personnel choices.

Everyone knows how to get leadership off our backs so we can actually do our job.

The business model is to assign multiple clients to overworked jr staff, and to work them 60 hours a week for no overtime. The clients subject matter is boring and their volunteers are often crude, inappropriate, and abusive. No culture of support or development. High turnover, panic attacks, tears.

Learn a lot in spite of the abuse. 60 hour weeks with no paid overtime. Constant helicoptering and questioning of work. Ambush meetings with no notice at 3pm on a Friday. Behind closed door agreements between colleagues. No development infrastructure to speak of. No internal promotions whatsoever

Not true thought leaders. Good at event management. Systems, processes all outdated. Staff dont develop true skills. I was in awe how easily they hire and fire at all levels. Sad culture.
