Smith & Nephew Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"While the pay and benefits of smith & nephew were acceptable the hours and opportunity for advancement were not. Regardless of what they say, if it only cost them 1 dollar to train their employees they still would not do it. You are trapped where they first put you at what time they have you. Upper management stretches their supervisors so thin that they can barely handle the workload. This creates an atmosphere of hostility and competitiveness where there absolutely should be none as if the whole team were even able to work together it would benefit the whole company. Unfortunately due to a lack of caring about serious issues from upper management, there is no real incentive to work together for one another."
