Bait and Switch at its finest. Luckily - SHI does have some great people on the payroll but their environment prevents good people from sticking around. Beware of the so called entrepreneur environment, it's not really. The sales field just funds the cost of doing business through a murky commission only plan. - Account Executive SHI International Employee Review

Pros

Energetic organization Revenues are growing so for now, things look exciting. Excellent place if you are in your 20's and can survive on 50k per year.

Cons

Commission only environment doesn't work for Solution sales. Lackluster compensation plan Still feels like a transactional sales company trying to say they are solution oriented one overnight and not changing enough to invest in the right talent to accomplish. Lots of talk, short on execution. Inexperienced management

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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