Pros

Absolutely nothing. The toxic political culture promotes "dedicate your time to the company" that forces, Senior management willfully enforces do more with nothing

Cons

If you’re considering working at SHI International, think carefully before making that decision. This company has undergone drastic changes that have resulted in broken promises, shrinking pay, a dysfunctional sales structure, and concerning financial instability. What was once a promising workplace has become an environment filled with uncertainty and frustration. Compensation Cuts and Growing Discontent SHI was once a solid place for sales professionals to grow their careers. Now, commissions have been reduced, bonuses slashed, and annual raises barely keep up with inflation. Employees are working harder than ever but seeing little to no reward for their efforts. Morale has plummeted as leadership continues to make decisions that seem to prioritize cost-cutting over retaining talent. Financial Instability is Crippling Business It’s not just employees feeling the impact—vendors and partners are growing increasingly wary of working with SHI. Reports of delayed payments and financial mismanagement have led to strained supplier relationships, failed transactions, and lost deals. Sales professionals are left scrambling to salvage opportunities that collapse due to circumstances beyond their control. A Chaotic and Demoralizing Sales Structure The sales organization, once a well-oiled machine, has been completely dismantled. Accounts have been reassigned without clear strategy, quotas have become unrealistic, and essential support systems have been stripped away. Instead of fostering success, these changes have created confusion, frustration, and an overall lack of direction. Lack of Leadership and a Culture of Mistrust Upper management has failed to provide a clear path forward. Employees seeking answers are met with corporate jargon and vague reassurances rather than meaningful solutions. The disconnect between leadership and the workforce has never been more apparent, leading to a culture where trust is eroding and confidence in the company’s future is fading fast. Final Verdict: A Company in Decline SHI International is not the stable, growth-oriented company it once was. Between declining compensation, a dismantled sales structure, and ongoing financial concerns, employees and partners alike are left questioning the future. If you're looking for long-term career growth, financial stability, and strong leadership, you may want to explore other opportunities. DO NOT WORK HERE. DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE. JUST RUN

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
