Small Business Administration Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"SBA is a good place to work. Its primary focus is helping businesses with obtaining loans and individuals and businesses with disaster assistance in a timely manner through a team working process to move applications to completion."

"I have only worked for SBA for only a month so far. The training is very good."

"lots of overtime otherwise it’s dead-end work"

"I have worked for SBA Office of Disaster Assistance, on and off, since 2013 processing/underwriting loans for homes and business affected by natural disasters such as fire and hurricanes and now for business affected by the COVID epidemic. SBA has an extensive training program and proper tools to get off the ground running. The trainers are very accessible while you are learning and then once on a Team, your team is great in answering questions. The hours are long, so it may not be the job for everyone but the pay is good and you know your are helping others each and every day. I would recommend working here if you are looking for a good temporary contract job."

"I have worked for the SBA for 1 year and have found the experience to be a great one. The organizational culture is one that encourages development, creativity, and fosters growth. My team leads have helped me grow personally and professional, and for that I will be forever grateful."

"As a new and temporary employee, my experience is limited with SBA. However, communication with my immediate supervisor is constant and amendable. The training was the best I've ever received from an organization and the equipment provided is very good."

"I have worked for SBA for two years, SBA is located in Boca Raton Fl, and has 20 offices nation wide. SBA also has offices in 7 countries. I worked out of the Charlotte NC office. I am responsiable for two offices in our market , Charlotte NC, Ashland Virginia,. SBA has a ton of training if you need it. The markets can get kind of stressful if you dont take the time to re tool yourself."

"It’s complicated. And I am extremely loyal. My word is my bond. I took a federal oath and found it ethically challenging to keep my word and approve 99% of EISL RAPID COVID Disaster Relief Loan Application (all filed into or before January 31st, 2020)."
