SHI International reviews

Too many to list. -Management. It really depends on who you get as a manager but it all likelihood you will get an inexperienced manager. My manager was an unproven sales rep that had no leadership skills nor the people skills to lead a team. -College/unprofessional workplace. Be prepared for a very unprofessional workplace. Very distasteful sales floor. -Micromanaging. The metrics do not make any sense at SHI. The management does not really take in consideration of the workload that we do on a daily basis. The only thing management care about is themselves. -Culture. The morale on the floor is at an all time low when I left. As SHI grew, IT started to become everything that upper management said it wouldn't be. I would have to blame upper management on this one. -Work/life balance. Is non-existent. It's frown upon to take any vacation or PTO. If you are lucky to get days off, your manager will constantly demand tasks out of you to make sure you are thinking off work while you are out of the office. You are also expected to work after hours every day. -Sinking ship. SHI is trending downwards on everything hence why a lot of reps are leaving the company.

Often times, as an agnostic reseller, you almost compete against your own colleagues and there are at times barriers to working together with other teams supporting different vendors (for example, you could be on the Dell team trying to work with the Microsoft team, but they won't work with you because you could take their customer). Also a lot of the work you do (at least as sales support) goes generally unnoticed, ignored, or unrecognized. the ceiling is very low and vertical growth in the same team is highly unlikely.
