Pros

wellness program (while i was there at least) casual can gain necessary experience

Cons

-Incestuous work environment leads to drama in the work place -Micromanaging and cattiness by managers -Deceiving job titles: Sales Enablement Specialist that had absolutely nothing to do with sales. More of a Data Analyst Role at half the average data analyst salary - you will end up "wearing many hats" and you will NOT be awarded for your dedication come end of year/salary increase time -HR Department is a JOKE

Thanks for providing your feedback. Although your advice to management was to provide “Clarity,” your description of the day-to-day activity of a Sales Enablement position is crystal clear. A large part of the success of SHI’s account teams comes from the “behind-the-scenes” work done by the employees of SHI’s various Sales Enablement teams - and those members can wear many hats. Whether it is assisting customers through a software volume licensing consultation, analyzing purchasing history to identify new cost-savings opportunities or conceiving, proposing and delivering trainings, SHI’s Sales Enablement positions play a key role in ensuring SHI’s customers are supported by the IT industry’s most efficient, knowledgeable and valuable account teams, every single day.

Pros

Manager is very hands-off and trusts you to get your work done as long as your metrics look good. Overall good work culture - good work/life balance. Low stress work which can be nice if you’re okay with, what’s for the most part, a fairly repetitive/uninspiring variety of work (I personally like this but realize it’s not for everyone). Very friendly co-workers. Plenty of chances to prove yourself & work your way up the ladder if that’s something you care about.

Cons

Heavy focus on questionable metrics, especially in this current era of measuring AI usage. Repetitive/uninspiring work that can start to feel boring if you’re wanting something more interesting

Pros

Work from home, paid for career development trainings/certifications, and depending on your role, flexible hours

Cons

-Management/Senior Leadership teams are very disorganized and often change processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult to get promoted -SHI loves automating everything they can, so a lot of times, work ends up feeling very tedious and repetitive -Day to day work very often includes tedious process approvals from management, slowing down pace of work with no real feedback given during the approval process -Met a lot of people who were great, but met far more who are toxic -Everything feels escalated even if the “issue” is manageable -EXTREMELY micromanaged
