Pros

-takes a while to get moving, but you can make money. -Great learning experience, met some great friends and learned valuable experience i use everyday at my Job i actually love.

Cons

- I felt like i was in high school all over again. The micromanaging was absolutely insane. Managers taking note how long bathroom breaks are, how long your conversations are with coworkers, looking through your phone calls. Have to leave 10 minutes early? Prepare for crippling anxiety and having to come in 30 min early. 2 minutes late? Prepare for a write up to HR. Wearing the wrong shoes? Prepare for a formal warning from HR about your work attire. Don’t forget to clock in and out for you salaried position! - Lowered standards to fill training classes. You are just a number here, that’s all you are. Originally it took a bachelors degree to get the job, now they dropped it to an associates to fill training classes.... - Favoritism is a huge huge huge problem... all those things i mentioned above? Doesn’t matter if you’re a favorite. It’s really absurd, and very cliquey.. again like you’re in high school all over again.

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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