Pros

Resume fluff. You'll meet some great people. Sometimes they feed you. Gym and classes.

Cons

Hard to get fired so most people do nothing or minimum, leaving those who care frustrated. No room for growth unless you are in sales. Terrible benefits; get ready to pay a lot if you have an emergency. Speaking of, HR will harass you the day after a surgical procedure for their documents. Managers with no managerial experience. Low salaries. Fraternity culture. Huge turnover - would rather hire new than pay talented employees more. No team building. Lack of structure.

Thanks for providing your feedback. Unfortunately it contains disconnects that could have been clarified while you were still with our company. We don’t believe it possible for SHI to simultaneously post 18% year-over-year growth and maintain one of the industry’s most efficient support organizations without the vast majority of employees working together to make it happen. We do believe the 500+ Somerset-based managers and employees who currently hold a position after being “promoted-from-within,” would speak positively about the opportunities for continued professional development and career advancement at SHI. While we wish you could have been a true part of our continued success, we wish you well in future endeavors and hope you view your next job as more than just “resume fluff.”

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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