Pros

Your team members were awesome.

Cons

Vacation package that was below average NO sick time-people came to work sick all the time and got everyone else sick They were investigated by the Feds for poor labor practices Low compensation Managers would routinely gather teams and yell and scream at them until they all felt like crap. People would come out of these "meetings" crying and upset. Team members were awesome-managers not so much. Was fun collecting a crap salary while your COO was demanding more money for herself from the CEO. They push products that don't work. If you're new you are nothing-if you were part of the original company then your compensated fairly and could do no wrong. Turnover is ridiculous The original people who started when they bought the company are slowly leaving bc they realize this is a crappy place to be-think of someone putting in 15 years and then leaving...

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.
