Pros
Full-time employment includes benefits. Overtime available for certain salaried positions.
Cons
The pay scale at SHI is far below other companies in similar industries. The salary offers are in line with the job, but not the candidate. Instead of adjusting salaries for candidates with experience, they pay everyone the same despite the fact that no two employees are alike. I know several people for whom the low salaries drove them to seek employment elsewhere. The HR department is seemingly unwilling to perform some of their basic functions. Poor-performing employees are not disciplined or terminated, which means other employees have to do more work. This affects morale, but there's nothing to indicate anyone is concerned about that. Promotions take the form of new job titles for which you have to apply and be selected. Rather than have levels within a particular job title, you have to submit a resume and actually be selected for the job, which is not a lock. The job titles are followed religiously. So if you show initiative and do work you were not told to, there's no real recognition. Instead, you get told to stay in your lane, even if the extra work is to benefit the team. There's a big focus on "looking busy," with almost everyone saying that. During slow periods, we were told to do anything that kept us "looking busy." And yes, someone was ALWAYS watching. The company has a list of values posted prominently in various places around the building, but I never saw any of those values being practiced. Take accountability. My team had measures in place to associate workers with their assignments. But it relied on self-reporting to track progress. A lot of work wasn't actually entered, meaning there was no reliable way to tell who did what. That's the opposite of accountability.
