Management Uses You As Long as They Want and Avoid Your Needs Altogether

Pros

This company had some clients. The number of clients was not huge, but they at east had a few of them.

Cons

The upper management is awfully selfish. They will use you for as long as they need you and then discard you like trash. If they have no projects for you, they will fire you. It was the worst feeling ever to realize that I had no worth here. It was ridiculous. Please avoid working here if you don't want to stress about job security all the time or live worth the fear of unexpected job loss.

We hope that in the four years of employment with SmarTek21, you have found some positive experiences and growth. We sincerely wish you well in your future endeavors.
