Supportive team, but toxic leadership and unrealistic demands - Funeral Director Service Corporation International Employee Review

Very supportive of the need for us to give back to the communities we serve. Great company, great benefits! (Even offers pet insurance!) If employees ever leave for a supposed better world at an independently owned provider, they almost always want to come back. This company strives to do the right thing for its employees and families we serve.

We are seen as “corporate.” (It is a corporation, but the benefits are immense for employees as well as families served - think things such as national transferability of plans, item for item, dollar for dollar.)

Some positives were the consistent hours, structured work environment, convenient location, and well maintained facility. I also appreciated seeing some diversity in the workplace.

The biggest con was the lack of support for employees who were still growing in the funeral industry. In my experience, the company expected loyalty and hard work, but did not provide the level of mentorship, patience, or professional development that a newer licensee or intern may need. The environment felt unforgiving, and I did not feel valued as a person or as an employee.
