Pros

Supportive in all endeavors in and out of work. Large network of experienced professionals willing to share their knowledge.

Cons

Like all larger firms, hard to know coworkers in different office/remote employees. I do feel they are working to remedy this.

Pros

They have 11 paid holidays and parental leave.

Cons

Heath insurance is outrageously high for families. They don’t match on 401K. The firm is all about cross selling services to clients in other offices. Flexible PTO is just a way for them to not owe anyone paid time off. The expectation is employees will take less time off and when someone leaves they don’t have to pay them for earned PTO. Salaries are too low for the insurance premiums to be that high. They don’t care if people leave because they want a smaller payroll and they can force other people to work more hours with increases in billable hour requirements. If you are young, single, don’t go to the doctor, and can work 70 hrs a week, then this is the place for you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for recognizing some of the benefits we offer, including paid holidays and parental leave. We understand that periods of significant growth and transformation are not for everyone. At Smith Howard, we have been transparent about our strategy to grow both organically and through acquisitions as we work toward our long-term vision. We also recognize that growth brings complexity and that integrating operations, systems, and cultures across multiple firms is a journey that requires thoughtful planning and continuous improvement. Regarding benefits and compensation, we know these are deeply personal topics and important factors in the employee experience. We regularly review our offerings to remain competitive and sustainable while continuing to invest in programs that support our people and their families. Finally, we respectfully disagree with the notion that we do not care when employees leave. Our people are, and always will be, our greatest asset. We remain committed to listening to feedback, improving communication, and creating an environment where our employees can build meaningful and rewarding careers. We appreciate your contributions during your time with the firm and wish you continued success in your future endeavors.
