Pros

-used to have great start up feel and freedom -coworkers are great for making new friends -catered lunch by vendors and lots of happy hours -if you are a political favorite and are handed good accounts, commission can be lucrative -close to downtown

Cons

-50 cold calls a day to IT professionals -management is a nightmare, has no problem acting like they don't care about turnover because they are simply hiring any recent graduate that applies and replacing those that quit -micromanaging, always a new metric to hit/product push= less time to do the job that actually makes you money -firing/moving around managers without any transparency -sales team keeps on increasing but support roles are not -college-esque culture has creeped all the way up to management style -Live and die by the 8-5...150% to quota? SIT DOWN AND GET TO WORK

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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