Pros

Benefits are still very good. They are some of the best I've ever had at any company. Love working with my peers as most of them are the reason I come to work every day.

Cons

Seems like ever since the PE firms got involved the senior leadership team has been a revolving door and the cost cutting has been quiet but frequent. Not too sure this is a long term place I want to work any longer.

We’re glad to hear that our benefits are something that’s been a bright spot in your experience working at Schellman. We survey the company on an annual basis to make sure that the support employees receive aligns with their most current needs. From robust time off to our highly competitive 401k match and everything in-between, we try and keep them well-rounded to promote a great environment for our team to thrive. We do our best to give context around the decisions we make to scale our business. Part of that is making partnerships to invest in initiatives that allow us to meet challenges in a growing and changing industry. The firms that come in do so because they believe in the culture we’ve built. Our leadership team also reflects our need to realize that vision. We’ve tried to be clear about the bar we set for our leaders and provide a path for them to grow and evolve to meet those expectations. We don’t lose sight of the fact that people are at the center of our business and client relationships. Our hope is that by continuing to clearly communicate what we require to achieve our goals, we will bring everybody along on that journey.

Pros

Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself

Cons

Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Pros

The people. Peers are great to work with and very supportive. Some of the leaders in the teams are as well. Perks were GREAT but have slowly been taken away or the costs went up.

Cons

Where do I begin? Wholesale executive turnover. Technology projects that we're supposed to say are awesome but aren't really that great. They take up more time to figure out than they're worth and we know those are meant to take our jobs. AI, offshore, temp labor. No thanks. It was a place I loved working at but has slowly just become a job that makes me feel like I should be watching for somewhere else to go. Just in case. The culture has changed quite a bit too. It used to feel like a place where we all wanted to work together but that's slowly fading.
