Pros

SI&A is fast-paced and fun company that I was happy and proud to be a part of for many years. During my time there I grew my skill set, made lifelong friends and received multiple promotions. Did I have to work for each one? You bet! Was every single day fun and exciting? Of course not – no rewarding career is without its bad days, hard conversations or lessons learned. But the business principals I learned, the connections I made and the skills I have taken with me will benefit me for the rest of my professional career. If you want to work hard, learn lots and have a good time doing it – this company could really be for you.

Cons

The industry that SI&A works in can be a tough one. Working with and selling to K-12 education can be difficult. Districts don’t move as fast as a private company can. I wouldn’t take too much stock in the ridiculously negative views that are posted here – every company has disgruntled former employees – and it’s stupidly easy to say horrible things about a place anonymously and when they have no chance to respond. This is a great small company that rewards people that show up with a good attitude, work hard and contribute to its growth.

Pros

I started here at SI&A out of college and have worked in several positions. I started out as a consultant working with school district clients throughout the state and was promoted to my current position as an operations manager. I didn't take long for me to decide that I wanted a career here where I've been for over 15 years. If you like to be challenged and a fast paced environment then SI&A is the place for you. It's a great company to work for; the compensation package is fantastic (401k, medical/dental), perks to basketball and baseball games; and the people care about each other like family. Employees are recognized for their hard work and efforts through an annual companywide employee recognition event. Our executive team is great - the CEO gives back to the community by being a big supporter of the performing arts and the COO is someone who genuinely wants the best for the company - both of them run the organization really well in my opinion.

Cons

State imposed claim filing deadlines can lead to some long nights.
