Pros

Relaxed Dress Code, Roomy Work Environment, Nice Location

Cons

The job potential that was sold to me during the interview is what drew me in. It was a small enough company that I felt I could make an impact and continue a long-term career. I was told that the position I wanted wasn't available to me yet because they had a need elsewhere, but they told me that they are a company that grows from within, and told me after 90 days in a less-desirable position, they would review me and most likely give me something different to do. This did not happen. However after about 6 months, they gave me different work to do on top of my other work. My workload was so intense, that there was not a way for me to accomplish everything that was asked of me. This was thrown back at me as a reason I wouldn't be placed in the company in my original desired position six months later. I decided to apply for a different position. Again, they decided to put me on a 90 day trial. During this time, there was a noticeable shift in the work environment with a mass exodus of long-term employees at all levels. Several employees told me that no matter what, there is a 90 days trial for promotions, but people rarely pass the trial. It became apparent to me that management would rather hire outside employees at a starting salary to fill the role, then keep raising current employee wages. And after speaking with them, I found out many of the new employees that they hired for our coveted promotions, actually were applying for DIFFERENT positions, and the 90 days trial eventually happened to them as well. Out with the old wave of employees (who become so frustrated by the low salaries, appreciation, and lack of growth that they quit) and in with the new- who do not know any better because nobody is left to tell them. Lather, rinse, repeat. Needless to say, there is no room for growth at this company despite what a review that a "company insider" may write on here. And not only that, current employees obtain extra work loads as people continue to leave with empty promises of advancement.

Pros

Fun, friendly but professional environment. In my opinion it was was a pleasure to work there.

Cons

Layoffs happened yearly. But that is just business and looking out for the company. It's not personal.

Pros

I've been at SBL for almost 2 years. In those two years, I had MAJOR health issues, lost my father, multiple long hospitalizations. I was scared because previous companies I worked for had fired people because of their health. But not SBL, the worked with me on the time I needed off for FMLA, welcomed me back each time I had been out with a smile. They offer a lot of flexibility in scheduling too. You can choose your schedule based on some guidelines. You can even choose condensed work weeks and have an extra full or half day off weekly. Pay is fair and commensurate with experience. They offer raises yearly based on performance. The culture is fun, HR provides a lot of fun and engaging activities throughout the year including giveaways, Monthly catered lunches, a monthly treat delivered (think brownies, cookies, donuts, etc.) I'm happier here than any other place I've worked in the past. As with every company, there are the things here and there that can be frustrating or challenging but overall, SBL is an excellent place to work. Shout out to Angie & Meagan for all they do in HR>

Cons

My commute, but that has nothing to do with the job
