Great people, engaging projects, nice compensation - Recensione dipendente - Associate Consultant presso SMA

Three areas need improvement: 1) Communication with consultants in the field, especially in regards to project and personal performance and tracking of actual spend to funded/budgeted cost. 2) Providing and encouraging opportunities for networking and professional growth such as participating in conferences and seminars. SM&A could provide incentives for employees to speak at conferences or seminars or author articles for professional publications. 3) Employer contributions to employee 401k plans. SM&A invests very little in employee retirement plans, and contributed nothing for 2015. In addition, employer contributions are only made annually, 3 months into the next year, which reduces the growth potential of their contributions. SM&A pays well while you’re working for them, but puts nearly no effort in helping the employee save for retirement.
