Pros

Remote Nice people Meh on pay - salary only for some with no bonus or commission Decent benefits Lots of opportunities for new to the workforce hires

Cons

MICROMANAGEMENT at its best! Terrible onboarding and training - as a tenured professional, mandated training was on how to use Outlook Lack of position training - as an external hire navigating the internal landscape was very difficult without even the minimal direction from management or the team PTO and Holidays - an elective day is either the day after Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve - who works those days ever??? And, if you are hired throughout the calendar year your PTO is pro-rated, so you actually start with less than you would starting Jan. 1 Shared Calendars - management requires remote employees to share calendars with full details - if you can't trust your employees then you shouldn't have hired them in the first place Nepotism - the majority of the new hires have relatives who are in senior leadership

Pros

Great place to work for especially for those in information technology looking to learn more from software and hardware vendors. The meet and greets + lunch and learns help you learn more about the products and services they provide.

Cons

None, I’ve had a positive experience with them!

Pros

This may be a good place to start in order to gain experience in the industry at the entry level. Beyond that it should be a stepping stone.

Cons

The Glassdoor numbers say a lot. Only 50% of the people who work here would recommend to a friend or colleague. In school, 70% is 1% away from failure. SHI is 20% below failure. To add, 53% of the people who work here have a negative outlook on the company's future. That seems like a trend in the wrong direction. If your career is an investment in your life, that needs to be considered before investing a career into SHI.
