Pros

no office can work from home salary paid end of month You learn how to work on weekends You learn that choosing this company is truly one horrible decision. You learn that no matter how hard you work people will still try to throw you out. You learn that being a yes man is the best option possible solution

Cons

1.Internal Politics , Selfish Management who will promote or fire or give you out of your pay perks not based on merit but because they are the owners and you are on their side 2.No Work life balance any body can call u at anytme timezone no matter 3.You will need to work for more than 15 hours every day. 4.No Hike will be provided even if your team player but you ill be fired if you aks 5.Even your sick ask to work on late nights. 6.Poor Management. Its just one large version of squid game where everyone wants to shoot each other. Only in this game you don't actually have to shoot each other but they still do it and no one even knows why. Very poor senior management and poor decision making skills. There is no business plan which leads to pressurizing employees to stretch at any extent to finish job as and when a job or an opportunity comes. People join and leave the company in less than a month or two. Company doesn’t even cares about it but simply does a replacement. One of the worst companies I have ever worked with. Highly NOT recommended.

The Executive Team/HR is sorry that you have had such a negative experience working for SmarTek21. Being with SmarTek21 for more than 16 years in the corporate office, many of my colleagues as well as myself, have yet to hear or experience many of these experiences in which you speak. We understand no company, teams, or management are perfect and improvements can always be made across the board which we take very seriously but I would have to say your experience is probably one of the most traumatic experiences to date and for you to have endure it for 3 years is remarkable. Our executive and HR teams are reviewing this feedback and will address these areas of concern with all management in hopes to improve our process for future success. We are happy that you found working from home and salary were positive areas and hopefully you found some growth after several years working for us as well. Thank you for your 3 years of services, we appreciate the work you put in and wish you success in your next professional venture.
