Pros

- Focused on success. Ample time onboarding/shadowing for new employees before working solo. Frequent social meetings, training sessions, and team meetings. Lots of opportunity for career growth with internal and external training and certification paths. - Compentitive pay. Schellman makes sure that you are well compensated, including a strong bonus program. - Lavish annual meetings. Many Schellman employees are work from home, so staff meets in person once a year. This year, Cancun, next year, Vegas.

Cons

- Mandatory hour reporting. Start of 2025, a mandatory hour tracking system was put into place. The system has been in production for almost a year. Management says timetracking is for increasing efficiency. Submission requirements get frequently stricter and now require multiple submissions a day. - Now involved with a private equity firm. The start of 2025 anounced that Schellman will be working with a Private Equity firm. Everyone has differing opinions on PE, so do what you will with this information. - Lavish annual meetings. This year, Cancun, next year, Vegas. For a company that is currently squeezing, these events feel uncomfortably expensive. - Overseas employment. Stated intention is to be an auxillary resource. Everyone has differing opinions on outsourcing, so do what you will with this information.

Pros

Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself

Cons

Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Pros

The people. Peers are great to work with and very supportive. Some of the leaders in the teams are as well. Perks were GREAT but have slowly been taken away or the costs went up.

Cons

Where do I begin? Wholesale executive turnover. Technology projects that we're supposed to say are awesome but aren't really that great. They take up more time to figure out than they're worth and we know those are meant to take our jobs. AI, offshore, temp labor. No thanks. It was a place I loved working at but has slowly just become a job that makes me feel like I should be watching for somewhere else to go. Just in case. The culture has changed quite a bit too. It used to feel like a place where we all wanted to work together but that's slowly fading.
