Pros

Very easy to get hired here but there's a reason why

Cons

If you're thinking about working at SHI, here are a few things I wish someone had told me: Ask detailed questions about the pay and bonus structure—it’s not as clear or consistent as it sounds during the interview. Take a tour of the office before you accept anything. The vibe in person was not what I expected based on what was described. The training is honestly pretty weak. You’re kind of thrown in and expected to figure it out. There’s not a lot of compassion or flexibility, especially for people with disabilities or those who need accommodations. Overall, I didn’t feel valued as an employee. It felt like they cared more about numbers than people.

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.
