Former employee — Video Department Manager·Aug 19, 2026

Ask Questions

Pros: Insurance, 401K match, Work from home, 9/80 work week (if it applies to you, I was told I wasn't eligible even though I was FT employee) Cons: Trying too hard to look hip and relevant. Company culture is important- everyone wants the perks like work from home, short week, or flex hours, but those things become less appealing when you spend the majority of your time putting out client fires and checking off tasks that are unnecessary and irrelevant. Looking to work here? Ask a few questions: 1.) How long does the average CSM, sales person, web developer, designer or video team member…

Current employee — Executive Assistant·Aug 19, 2026

Relationship-based Leadership

Pros: SMC is big on over-communication. Honestly, I initially thought, "hovering boss". But I quickly learned though over-communication is emphasized, it is balanced with SMC's emphasis on relationship-based leadership. They take the time to learn your personality, read how you work best, then place you in a role and give you tasks where you can thrive. Where open communication means you can bring your complaints to management and talk your way through problems, over-communication at SMC means leadership is proactive in approaching you to see what they can do to make your workweek a success.…

Growth and People Mindset

Pros: I love that SMC has a growth mindset, they are not only growing their company but help each individual person grow as a person. The team members are truly the sweetest people you will ever meet. They are always willing to lend a helping hand if needed. Cons: I wouldn't really call this a con but if you are not use to growth or can't adapt to it SMC is not for you.

Amazing place to work that really cares about their employees!

Pros: I have been at SMC for about a year and a half and I can honestly say that it is the best place I've worked for! The company has a great culture, excellent work-life balance, fully remote, amazing team, great benefits, and a fast-growing company. Upper management (even including the CEO) is extremely approachable and you can tell genuinely cares about the employees and making this company great. HR is absolute dynamite in providing all the needs of the company too. For being a remote company they really strive to keep us connected and invested and they do a wonderful job. Churn is not…

Great People, Great Culture, Great Vision

Pros: Leadership is incredibly supportive and responsive. The company has a clear vision of the future and gives autonomy to the employees to carry out the mission. There is a big emphasis on community and positive reinforcement. It’s an exciting time to be part of SMC! Cons: There is a ton of work being put into building documents and SOPs and things are ever changing. Not necessarily a con, but it’s important to note that the company is still pushing for uniform processes Advice to management: Keep standing for the core values. You are doing a fantastic job

Former employee·Aug 19, 2026

Good Luck

Pros: There are SOME people here who I enjoyed working with. This company largely consists of friends and relatives of the CEO so be careful who you talk to. The 9/80 schedule can be a good benefit if your supervisor/boss allows you to actually use it. However, it's likely that even on your "Friday off" you will still get a bunch of emails and requests. Cons: No doubt this review will end up being posted on the CEO's personal social media account stating that SMC just "isn't the right fit for some" or "we are always looking to improve." To an outsider you’re thinking, “wow they really value…

Cons: The following is my personal opinion formed from my direct interactions and experiences during my tenure at SMC National. The #1 con to SMC is the senior management in the marketing division.

Risky business

Pros: Remote company, flexible schedules, 9/80 every other Friday off Cons: Shady marketing model based on lead guarantees that are often not met for clients. The company has significant financial instabilty issues, multiple layoffs in the past couple years. The clients are quick to leave once they sense the over/ promising and under delivering of services expected. Advice to management: Your clients want a transparent model; stop deflecting to operations and sales instead of the real marketing results. Your marketing tactics are rinse and repeat for every client and often ineffective. Fancy…
