SHI Reviews

Current Employee – been working at SHI full-time for more than a year

Pros – Laid back, opportunities to grow, pay is better than other resellers

Cons – More job announcements would be a plus

Advice to Senior Management – Notice talent and reward.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at SHI full-time for more than a year

Pros – fun fast paced laid back work place and the majority of the people and are fun to work with on a daily basis.

Cons – very long hours and if you don't kiss management butt you are just another employee and possibly wont make it very long with the company. Upper management is part of a good ole boys club that came from one of SHIs competitors. It use to be a great environment but the company has gotten a little to big for its britches. My advice is if you are looking to get a start for high pressure faced paced sales give it a shot but beware that you will just be a number or expendable if something doesn't go the way your manager wants it.

Advice to Senior Management – My advice to the owner of the company drop the dead weight that only looks out for themselves and bring in managers who really care about employees instead of themselves.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at SHI full-time

Pros – you can make alot of money here at times.

Cons – I'm an Inside Account Executive and life here is....ehhhhh. Your first year quotas are not bad, but they double every year after. If your in the commercial space, you will be fighting outside account executives for accounts, and in general will not be given any great accounts to prospect. The base pay is not enough. Most people leave SHI after a year.

To sum it up....look for other options if you can. this job is not worth the stress and management will lure you in with lofty dreams of money. Everything is 50/50 here. If you are successful here, you are one of the very few.

Advice to Senior Management – either be committed to SMB or committed to outside sales. This company is going to implode on itself if it does not come up with a clear path. The inside and outside account executives are at odds with each other right now. They are viewing each other as competition.

Former Employee – worked at SHI full-time for more than a year

Pros – Legacy Enterprise group is excellent but 2008 inception of the Commercial Division and it's "senior leadership" were light on the resume and devoid of managment skills. Confronting senior management only resulted in being labeled, "not a player".

Cons – Inexperience, limited vision and moving product over account managment is a short term plan

Advice to Senior Management – Don't expect legacy SW folks with no outside sales experience to understand and develop an outside sales team. The reality is high turnover and demoralization.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at SHI full-time for less than a year

Pros – Money money money money money

Cons – Pressure of finding clients and meeting quotas

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at SHI full-time for more than a year

Pros – solid benefits and the company is growing rapidly. The pros are that the company is doing very well due to low payroll causing high turnover.

Cons – Not challenging. Inability to adapt by a few hold back many. Lack of leadership, direction, and motivation. Sales is the backbone of the company, so accounting is unrecognized, unless of course there is an issue. Nowhere to grow in accounting.

Current Employee – been working at SHI full-time

Pros – Company is stable and seems to be growing
You don't need much experience to get a job
Easy going workplace environment
Upper management seems pretty lenient
Great Amenities

Cons – The job is EXTREMELY boring! Make sure that if you are applying for this position you are 100% an introvert. If you like sitting at a desk all day doing basically nothing than this is for you. I've never been so bored in my life and I wouldn't consider myself an introvert or extrovert. Requires zero movement and you will stare at a screen r 8 hours straight.
Not a great salary (30k)
A lot of older people

Advice to Senior Management – Make sure you hire people who are boring, because no one else will last.

Current Employee – been working at SHI full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – No caps on earnings and great sales support. Earnings can be great with the right territory and accounts.

Cons – Company culture of providing straight commission sales reps autonomy is gone. New layers of management, added administrative duties and the creation of the Corp Sales Division have caused a lot of confusion, disappointment and diminished what made the company special and unique. Sales management titles are now being given to some individuals who have very little sales skills let alone sales management skills.

Advice to Senior Management – Remember what made your company special

Current Employee – been working at SHI full-time for more than a year

Pros – It can offer a nice revenue if you have the right accounts and market.

Cons – Becoming more micromanaging and most District Managers are under qualified to manage people.
