Underwhelming experience for an engineer

Pros

Good starting salary. I was able to work with some level of independence - management was very hands off. Stable company, so it's a good place to work if you just want to plod along and receive a steady check.

Cons

Anything more than a negligible pay raise only comes if you bring new business to the company, even if you're an engineer (not a salesman). Lack of employee retention, The company has become a revolving door for engineers. Management expects a high level of loyalty from employees, simply because they provide you with average benefits and a paycheck. PTO is weak.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your comments. I'm sorry to hear you had an underwhelming experience with SMS. We strive to ensure all employees are happy with their work and benefits. You are correct that SMS is a good, stable company with many opportunities for engineers. While we do not expect our engineers to be salespeople, we do appreciate and reward new business opportunities brought in by our employees. Additionally, we research annual compensation increases prior to each evaluation cycles and match increases to our annual evaluation results. Many of our employees have long tenure with SMS and while we love loyalty and dedication, we know we may not be the right fit for everyone. We appreciate the three years you worked for SMS and wish you the best with your future endeavors.
