Benefits
Teamwork has become a buzzword in the business world today, but it goes beyond that at SMG. In fact, you rarely hear the word “teamwork” because it’s engrained in everything we do. To deliver the caliber of insights that SMG is known for, we maintain an “all hands on deck” mentality that goes beyond the meeting room. Some of our best ideas come from collaboration while preparing for the Kansas City Corporate Challenge, supporting our favorite charities or hanging out at a Crossroads First Friday party. We do our best to promote from within and offer many opportunities to grow your professional skills in order to keep pace with our business growth. We understand that happy employees mean happy clients and that our people are our greatest assets. We reaffirm our commitment to employee happiness each and every day. We believe that every employee plays in integral role in helping grow our business, which is why senior management operates an open door policy where everyone has an opportunity to have their voice and opinions heard.
