Pros

Co workers were intelligent and willing to support you if needed. That is about it though. Otherwise, there are few things good to say about SCH.

Cons

I worked in a department where I watched my manager STEAL expensive equipment and sell it on eBay to pocket the money. He was a raging misogynist and had zero education, training or previous experience. He was completely incompetent and couldn't perform the most basic functions of the job. None of this was that big of an issue in my daily job functions because he NEVER CAME INTO WORK, and so he never botherd me or my team mate's. We all did our work perfectly without him. Our team would go WEEKS without hearing from him. He would tell others outside of the department he was working from home, but he didn't know how to access our online work sites remotely. After some time I felt compelled to bring this information to HR because it was becomming a serious ethical issue. Seeing this person steal money and time from sick and dying children. I (and others in the dept) brought this up to upper management and HR. Then our whole team (minus the manager) were investigated for things he had done wrong. We were all reprimanded while he was protected by upper management. HR even agreed that we didn't do anything wrong and that he was the one committing wrong doing, but then told us these are the consequences you face or get out. You will also be very under paid and there is little room for career advancement.

Pros

Front line staff genuinely care and are committed to the organization, even though it has changed dramatically for the worse.

Cons

Leadership under new CEO (Longhurst) has quickly become toxic. Long time employees and leaders are exiting quickly. Return to office mandate is going into effect in October 2026 and has caused massive upheaval and unproductive work for months as employees seek answers and get none. This comes after years of successive waves of layoffs and financial struggles that have damaged trust in executive leadership and the board. SCH used to care about mission and now it cares about keeping up with tech company trends and petting CEO’s ego.
