Pros

Team. If it was not for the team I would not have survived.

Cons

LOW BASE/POOR MANAGEMENT/WHERE IS THE COMPANY GOING? Where to start...You think coming out of industry they would breed you into SHI bests but that wasn't the case. I had a horrible time adapting to IT. Being in sales for the majority of my career, the cold emails/calls were nothing. There is no help from management and when you ask for help from a fellow employee who are willing to help the manager will ask why are you asking? BC I DON'T KNOW AND I WANT TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE OF MY PRODUCT TO SELL. Your'e in sales right??? INHERITED ACCOUNTS- you will get accounts from former AE s who RUINED THE ACCOUNT. Seriously, my office got a letter from the customer saying they don't want to do business with us and to leave them alone. FORMER REP RUINED THEIR EA AGREEMENT! ALSO READ- Try applying to vendors we work with to "advance" your career after SHI. The management at SHI has put a clause in saying vendors can not "cherry pick" SHI employees. Lord have mercy, and I will pray for whoever commits to this nightmare of a company.

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

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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
