Pros

Friendly and knowledgeable coworkers, great entry-level position for recent graduates, likes to promote from within, plenty of opportunities for training and knowledge to advance within the company...

Cons

...but this is definitely not a place to start a career, unless you ultimately want to be in commission based sales. Limited opportunities for salary-based advancement. Meager raises on a yearly basis. VERY HIGH turnover rate, constantly hiring new inside sales reps to keep up with the promotion/attrition. Many Inside Sales Reps remain in their positions for many years. Within the last few years, the company has split into two main factions, the existing Enterprise sales and the newer Corporate/SMB sales. Enterprise continues to be based in Piscataway (and soon, Somerset), while Corporate is based out of Austin, TX with satellite offices throughout the US & Canada. The culture between the two divisions could not be more disparate and it is causing tension between the two.

Pros

This may be a good place to start in order to gain experience in the industry at the entry level. Beyond that it should be a stepping stone.

Cons

The Glassdoor numbers say a lot. Only 50% of the people who work here would recommend to a friend or colleague. In school, 70% is 1% away from failure. SHI is 20% below failure. To add, 53% of the people who work here have a negative outlook on the company's future. That seems like a trend in the wrong direction. If your career is an investment in your life, that needs to be considered before investing a career into SHI.
