Smartlink: Where employees are just another expense line on a spreadsheet
Pros
None. If you are reading this and considering taking an offer from Smartlink, please do yourself a favor and read my experience below. They literally recruited me from a job where I had gainful employment only to find out on the first that they never had the work they said they had.
Cons
This company lied to me from day one. They recruited me from a site acquisition position where I had gainful employment offering me a sizable pay increase, more duties and a better job title. During the interview they explained that they currently had plenty of sites to assign me over the first two weeks of starting there. That was a lie. Over the next two months the most work I ever had at one time was 23 sites (compared to 50-70 at my previous employers) so I was really only given 20 hour of work a week even though I was full time. They kept saying more sites would come and that I was exceeding performance expectations. Not surprisingly, after 4 months of working there I get a call from my direct manager saying that corporate finance has determined that Smartlink is loosing money on my salary wages since they don't have enough work to assign me. Myself and nine other employees in the Southern California market were laid off that day. They literally convinced me to leave my former position and then kicked me out onto the streets of an economic crisis as if I was just another expense line on an accounting spreadsheet. It was cold, calculated and deceitful.
