Pros

No pros for working here.

Cons

There are plenty of cons to working at SBM, but two stood out the most to me: the lack of work–life balance and the company culture. Work–life balance was essentially nonexistent. Despite what they told me during the hiring process, I often had to work weekends, attend events, or take calls on my personal time. The culture was equally concerning. One situation that ultimately led to my departure was a conversation with a director-level manager who questioned why I wasn’t at a site at 6 AM. I explained that I had worked late the night before, lived an hour away, and considered that early morning my personal time. His response was, “Don’t forget, you’re salaried — that’s our time, not yours.” Overall, it was a toxic work environment, and I would not recommend it.

Pros

stability in an unstable economy

Cons

the workplace climate has proven to be detrimental to employee well-being, particularly in my case. since onboarding, i have been subject to consistent harassment by a single colleague. this behavior has been documented and reported on multiple occasions, yet remains unaddressed by hr. a culture of fear appears to prevent team members from offering support, as this individual has a history of retaliatory conduct aimed at those perceived as professional threats. despite entering the organization with a strong and proven professional background, i have encountered targeted efforts to erode my credibility. the employee in question has engaged in damaging commentary, both privately and publicly, which has undermined confidence in my capabilities among newer staff and compromised my ability to perform my role effectively. persistent rumors and personal attacks have contributed to a significant decline in my mental health. due to the sensitivity of the situation, i am unable to disclose further details without risking my anonymity. coupled with an excessive workload and a lack of institutional support, the ongoing mistreatment has become unsustainable.

Pros

a paycheck or otherwise nothing

Cons

A miserable place to work. People get fired for no reason. A lot of unethical behavior goes on behind the scenes and is supported by leadership. If you want to hate your life and feel like you may get fired every day, this place is for you.
