Pros

There are good people working here, but that doesn’t pay the bills

Cons

SHI leads new hires to believe they will have career growth opportunities within the company. This is false. After years of working here, the only positions available to me are lateral or backward moves with equal or less pay and no prospects to advance. HR spends half their time gatekeeping employees from applying to internal roles (blocking applications from hiring managers), and the rest of it refusing to offer support to people who need it. I know an employee who, due to a severe medical condition, was requested by his doctor to be allowed to work remotely, and went through the lengthy process of getting approval from SHI’s insurance company. HR refused to honor the request, offering no assistance or support.

Pros

This may be a good place to start in order to gain experience in the industry at the entry level. Beyond that it should be a stepping stone.

Cons

The Glassdoor numbers say a lot. Only 50% of the people who work here would recommend to a friend or colleague. In school, 70% is 1% away from failure. SHI is 20% below failure. To add, 53% of the people who work here have a negative outlook on the company's future. That seems like a trend in the wrong direction. If your career is an investment in your life, that needs to be considered before investing a career into SHI.
