SHI International Reviews

Pros

The work life balance is great when not on the sales side - end of the day, you can pretty much turn off (obviously as much as your brain will allow). Easy to bring forward ideas, make great connections, and the transition to working remote was done very well for the most part.

Cons

Like the other similar resellers, the pay is not great unless you are on the sales side. Often there are not enough internal resources or programs to work with to grow as fast as you'd like, but everyone does tend to work together.

Pros

You can make some great friends here, and learn a lot about sales methodologies and practices. The pay can be good if you are just beginning your career. If you want to get technical, get out of sales and in with ASG, they are some really smart people.

Cons

Management makes decisions without really thinking about all of their people. They seem to be more concerned with their bottom line than anything else. There is a culture of favoritism and it is pretty toxic. People who have made racist and bigoted comments move up through the ranks based on their popularity, but individuals who have given a lot of their career to the company aren’t promoted because they are not popular. This is not a company you can expect to make your career, this is a place that will take everything it can from you, and your better off doing the same in return. Make as much money as you can, keep your circle small, and get out before they get you or push you out. Everyone gossips, lots of nice to your face and not so nice behind your back types.

Pros

Fantastic pay (if you're good at what you do)

Cons

Disconnected management structure and alignment

Pros

As a first job out of college, SHI is the perfect place to build your career. With great training, and the mode helpful coworkers, SHI definitely makes you feel like family. Work/Life balance is great, but if you have to work longer sometimes, it is usually worth it. Huge paychecks if you work for it. Free food all the time, and lots of fun day in and day out.

Cons

Low salary, but commission helps. Sometimes grouped into the masses and given meaningless tasks to please the higher ups. If the accounts you’re given to start don’t buy, suck it up and call again, because you won’t receive any handouts from your manager. If your accounts suck, good luck, because all managers think you can sell to anyone and it just means you’re not trying hard enough.

Pros

- You'll learn a lot very quickly and very early on - Tons of great people, managers/directors tend to care about you for the most part - If you commit to a year or two in role and push yourself you will likely make really good money - Fairly easy to make upward or lateral moves into roles in management or specialization once you've gotten some experience (if you want)

Cons

- Semiannual reorgs are a way of life, which can be tiring if you're not flexible - Not a job to take if you don't want to work, you need to be realistic - Not a lot of diversity reflected in the higher levels of leadership

Pros

They pay you every two weeks and have monthly commission checks.

Cons

You will have no support in this role. They will train you in on utilizing these resources, but then yank them away from you. They claim it's for the best, but they claim that when they restructre the entire company every 3 months.Also they are constantly changing the pay structure. They claim it's for the best, but all I knows that after these changes my commission checks were much much lighter.
