Employee Testimonials

"Aloha. I am an employee of SMS Research and I enjoy my position as a Telephone Interviewer...it allows me the opportunity to connect with the outer communities from the Islands and Guam also. I enjoy speaking with them, and we share laughter through out our interviews. I didn't realize just how important these surveys are, but when I asked my boss, Renee, why do we do these surveys? After she explained it to me, I was like "wow"..so now I feel that Im contributing to the locals and doing the best I can to ensure that we get these surveys done. I also truly enjoy the people I work with. Thank you SMS Research for the opportunity to be a part of your team. I am grateful." - Ally L.


"Working at SMS provided a space for growth. The leadership is accessible and provided a platform where staff are encouraged to share their ideas and suggestions. They are supportive of professional development especially when it aligns with the objectives and goals of the company. There's a sense of congeniality among colleagues. A relaxing Friday wind down can turn into a learning session and I looked forward to it. I appreciated that it is a results-oriented organization as the job gets appropriately done because the staff willingly help each other. Indeed one of my best professional experiences!"
- Ava A.
