Pros

Respect and return business from customers because of flexibility allowed by company and customer service focus. All companies state people to be their most valuable assets, only Smith appears to actually recognize this.

Cons

Poor technical support for NAM based international operators. Smith need to place knowledgable people in the product lines offerings to support these customers.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
