Pros

Vibrant culture, people care about one another for the most part. Lots of vendor sponsorship and events which allow for networking opportunities.

Cons

-Middle & senior management is very green in most districts/regions -Metrics are prioritized over sales results -Not enough "selling time" due to manditory office days and other events/activities unrelated to actually selling product/solutions to customers. -Lots of "hand-holding" versus given the tools to succeed and being treated as an adult. -Unless you live in Austin or NJ, limited opportunity for career progression -Culture of 'working 24x7'. Not being responsive to email while on vacation is frowned upon which can lead to burnout.

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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