Pros

Decent Benefits for singles. 15 days PTO. Nice co-workers.

Cons

Smart Resources has definitely changed for the worse over the past 9 months or so. Purchased by BG Staffing in late 2017, Upper Management appears to be on a mission to burn down the company they bought. It is unclear what their mission is. Many people have either been pushed out, due to Management's seemingly "Rule by Fear" policy. Others have been fired, even Top producers. Even if your production is good, you are not safe. The Chicagoland offices are not doing well and the pressure is on everyone to turn it around. It is shameful the way they are treating people. Oh, and whether you quit, or get fired, the day it happens will be your last day, so better be prepared for that.

Pros

Clear communication: Expectations and next steps were explained in a way that made the process feel smooth. Supportive team interactions: Kristy and Daryl were both very helpful throughout the entire onboarding experience. Their guidance made the process feel welcoming. Patient I‑9 assistance: Daryl showed exceptional patience during the I‑9 portion, making what can be a stressful step feel manageable. Organized training materials: Resources were easy to follow and provided a solid foundation for getting started.

Cons

Streamlined documentation: Some materials could be consolidated or updated to reduce repetition.

Pros

Very helpful while I was on a contract. Called regularly to see if I had any questions, concerns, etc.

Cons

When my contract with the client suddenly ended, they stopped communication. Never followed back up to find me another assignment. Just felt abandoned.
