Challenging and personally rewarding work

Cons

As a Company, we are proud of the fact that in 2020 when many other companies were experiencing pay and benefit reductions and layoffs, SmartAsset was able to continue to offer our employees generous benefits contributions without passing the increase in cost to our employees, 401(k) match, annual raises, employee promotions and did not reduce pay or lay off any employees in 2020. Employee development is very important to us and we have rolled out career development plans for many of our teams already, with the remainder to be rolled out in early 2021. We thank you for sharing this feedback and encourage you to reach out to your manager or a member of the HR team to discuss any concerns you may have.

Pros

Great leadership, collaborative work environment (co-workers are friendly and willing to help), wonderful benefits (401k match, 3x catered lunch, Friday tastings, etc.), smart people, and great training from some of the teams, passionate people who care about the company and products

Cons

Still a startup vibe so there still continues to be come growing pains, especially since the company grew to almost 150 within a relatively short time, so a good number of people are pretty new.

I LOVE this place

Pros

Pros - WHAT ARE THOSE?!?!?!

Cons

SmartAsset is truly a dream come true. Where else can you find the perfect blend of chaos, stress, and a constant uphill battle? I love working in a place where only five people actually produce revenue while the rest of us get to enjoy the thrill of struggling. Taking time off is an absolute adventure. There’s nothing more exciting than returning to find your accounts reassigned and your hard work mysteriously vanished. And the lead distribution? Flawless. I get to spend weeks cold-prospecting, only for my leads to magically land with the same top reps who already get every inbound lead. The management team is remarkable. Some have been in closing roles, yet they offer little to no guidance, which really fosters a sense of independence. Who needs mentorship when you can figure it all out yourself? And let’s not forget the company’s stellar industry reputation for terrible leads. It’s truly inspiring to see a business thrive despite it all. The quotas are absolutely perfect, just high enough to ensure you’re always teetering on the edge of a PIP. Nothing fuels motivation quite like the ever-present threat of losing your job. If you’re looking for a place where stress is a way of life, fairness is a distant myth, and success feels like winning the lottery, look no further. 10/10 recommend.
