Pros

- Focused on success. Ample time onboarding/shadowing for new employees before working solo. Frequent social meetings, training sessions, and team meetings. Lots of opportunity for career growth with internal and external training and certification paths. - Compentitive pay. Schellman makes sure that you are well compensated, including a strong bonus program. - Lavish annual meetings. Many Schellman employees are work from home, so staff meets in person once a year. This year, Cancun, next year, Vegas.

Cons

- Mandatory hour reporting. Start of 2025, a mandatory hour tracking system was put into place. The system has been in production for almost a year. Management says timetracking is for increasing efficiency. Submission requirements get frequently stricter and now require multiple submissions a day. - Now involved with a private equity firm. The start of 2025 anounced that Schellman will be working with a Private Equity firm. Everyone has differing opinions on PE, so do what you will with this information. - Lavish annual meetings. This year, Cancun, next year, Vegas. For a company that is currently squeezing, these events feel uncomfortably expensive. - Overseas employment. Stated intention is to be an auxillary resource. Everyone has differing opinions on outsourcing, so do what you will with this information.

Pros

Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself

Cons

Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Pros

You get a lot of responsibility pretty early on, which gives you great experience and helps you develop your professional skills quickly. There are also annual company trips, and the benefits are pretty decent overall.

Cons

The pay has fallen behind what competitors are offering. There also seems to be a disconnect between how many projects the company takes on and how many people are actually available to complete the work, which can lead to heavy workloads and staffing issues.
