Pros

You will get paid. You will be insured. You will be able to travel to client sites.

Cons

This company is essentially a temp agency. They fill positions for large corporations (Dell, EMC, VMware, and Northrop). Most of their contracts can be canceled with little notice leaving employees without a job if they cannot find a new position. There is also a 0% bench time policy. If your job ends, your employment will be terminated. The business was thriving until it was sold to BRCD in 2008 and then started to crumble with the same management team that was in place. Management was disengaged after the sale to Brocade and never made any attempts to grow the business causing salary and hiring freezes for several years. Pay and insurance benefits are below industry standards. 401K benefits - not worth mentioning.

Pros

If you are green on the consulting side, it may be a good company to start at to hone your skills. Did get a regular paycheck.

Cons

SBS was a respected consultant company before Brocade bought them, then sold them off after the Brocade VP that spearheaded the purchase was fired. Has not been the same company since. It's too bad - before the company was sold to Brocade there was great talent and a real sense of community within SBS Emotional, inexperienced management. Don't seem to care enough about career development to do yearly reviews and the excuse not to do them is... no pay increases expected so what's the point. Don't expect any training unless it's on your time.
