Pros

Met some great co workers

Cons

You are completely micromanaged, you can not talk, I repeat you can not talk. The moral is very low. They keep saying in office to collaborate that’s a joke. We are one step from a mental ward the amount of silence you hear. I’ve never worked for a company in office with no talking. SMS was a much better company much better environments. You never know if you’re on the next round of layoffs with Lessen. No job security as we sit in bare office spaces. The space is too big for the amount of layoffs that’s been completed. Many of the good people are gone! Oh yeah this new location is HORRIBLE.

Constant layoffs

Pros

Developed genuine relationships with co-workers and select management. Great salaries advancement opportunities (under SMS Assist NOT Lessen).

Cons

Constant layoffs which I notice what several companies are doing now due to inflation. I recognize that many companies now have started implementing AI and have always outsourced employment opportunities to international companies to reduce labor costs which I assume is the CEO/CFOs' motive for the constant layoffs. HOWEVER, as a 3rd party facility management company, that relies on the securement on clients' financial contractual profits to sustain existence, actual HUMANS play critical role in sustaining client success. The CEO Jay McKee will soon learn but it may be too late at that point.
