Pros

- Good Benefits - 401K with match - Fair amount of PTO time - Gym/Workout space and yoga class - In office Café and Market If you have a degree in the field you are applying for you could go somewhere within this company. If you have years of experience doing the job you are applying for, you might get the job but you’ll not get any advancement. This company treats it software developing team wonderful, if this is your area apply today! If the job you are applying for is entry level customer support/service job, still an okay job, but if you work there 5 years and try to advance and don’t, find another job because you are stuck were you are at with no chance of moving anywhere within the company.

Cons

-Bad interdepartmental communication. -Company will always hire degree over experience for any team lead or manager job. - Uses the “all other tasks assigned” under job description to load more work on one employee without having to raise their pay except the yearly cost of living raise. This happen at all levels. -No Christmas bonus or anything to benefit your family just a Christmas party for employees and spouse, and if you been to one, the rest are the same. Unless you are a manager then you get a nice lunch and movie tickets on top of the lame Christmas party.

Pros

Schein is the market leader and well-respected in the industry. Owns many categories and commands respect from the biggest players. Job prestige is high and culture is extremely traditional. Financially, the company is like a rock and consistently grows stock and market share from year to year. Many "lifers" who have been in the industry forever and love Schein.

Cons

A company run by accountants. Financials always look great, but profit squeezing is paramount and most departments are understaffed, positions are rarely backfilled, responsibilities/expectations are huge and they are miserly with raises. Salaries are barely competitive for mid-management positions and internal systems are outdated; budgets and tools to innovate (or even compete professionally) are next to nil. Upward mobility is limited; I did not personally witness many major title promotions from within--although plenty of people fulfilled their manager/subordinate's responsibilities for months or years after the manager/subordinate left.
