Pros

SMA offers good benefits and a hybrid work schedule. If you're looking for just a job with a steady paycheck, these benefits are a worthy pro.

Cons

While the culture was once remarkable and unique, it has slowly eroded over the years with continual poor management decisions. Once upon a time, the people at SMA were valued as the true asset. Upper management knew the name of all the employees, people were looked at as individuals and there was a genuine investment in employee well-being. This is no longer the case. There is no coherence or cohesion to management, no sense of true leadership and the disconnect between upper management and lower tier roles grows more vast by the minute. Loyalty is not rewarded or valued, whether you’ve been here a year or ten years is of no consequence. Whether you perform your job well or poorly, it's all equated the same. Raises are negligible and not offered regularly, and upper mobility is severely limited.
