Good if you’re in the practice office, terrible if you’re in SDC
Pros: The company has a great counselor system (if you use it) & was stable enough to not lay off anyone during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were also really great, like-minded people in the office that you can easily befriend.
Cons: If you’re a fresh college graduate planning to work in Alpharetta, San Antonio, or Jacksonville, expect that your salary offer will be (1) non-negotiable and (2) extremely low. Your salary offer will be the same across all three locations so pick your city wisely. They will not even assist with moving fees so that’s an expense you will have to take on yourself. The benefits package isn’t all that great either so I suggest you read and understand the package thoroughly before agreeing to anything. If you plan on trying to ride out a year or 2 in the company in hopes that you’ll be able to transfer to the practice office, stop feeding that false hope. Either SDC leadership will not allow you to pursue your passion within the firm or you’ll get so tired of menial and repetitive work that you’ll quit. It’s all micro-managed and unless you enjoy someone constantly breathing down your neck, spare yourself this job. Also, there’s no chance of traveling unless it’s for a D&I initiative.
