*BEWARE! In my opinion: Temp to perm scam disguised as full-time entry level opportunity! - Recensione dipendente - Operations Analyst presso SEI Investments

*(Please read my following opinion carefully. However, please keep in mind that this is just one person's opinion! Not everyone will have the same experience!) SUBJECTIVE CON: What bothers me the most about this company is the AMBIGUITY from the get-go. For entry-level positions, the offer letter describes what seems to be a temp to perm position even though it is NEVER disclosed as such. (I believe that HR and management is trained to be misleading on the status of employment for various reasons). I was hired through SEI, after attending their company career fair. I was NOT hired through a temp agency. Upon being hired, every new entry-level employee is assessed after a 3-month probationary period on whether or not they would like for you to continue working at SEI. From the beginning, you are automatically working on a probationary period, and after the 3-month mark it is decided if you are good enough to keep at SEI, or if they will "work" another couple months with you to help improve the skills you are lacking as an employee (this is decided by your supervisor, signed off by your manager and discussed with HR). In my opinion, the 3-month review was completely subjective and I could tell my supervisor was not fond of me from the beginning. However, I sucked it up and had a plan I shared with my supervisor on how I would work specifically on the skills she believed I was lacking. This is because after the initial 3-month review, it was decided that my probation would be extended for another month and be discussed again. For the next couple of months, a nightmarish cycle continued where I would have regular one-on-one meetings with my supervisor to discuss and make sure my progress was headed in the right direction: which she told me it was. Then, I would continue to get blind-sided during my next two probationary extension progress meetings where I would be told that my performance was still not meeting the requirements. On my very last probationary extension, I was supposedly told that my last extension would only last 2 weeks (which I do not recall this being the time frame, as it was not formally written anywhere). However, I made the most of it by asking my supervisor for now DAILY morning meetings and DAILY end-of-day meetings to discuss my progress because I was STILL determined to make the best out of the situation and work on improving myself as an SEI employee. Finally, a week and a half so later I was called into a one-on-one meeting with HR to discuss my progress where I learned that I was being let go. Once again, I was blindsided considering that my supervisor would always give me positive feedback on my progress. Lastly, neither my supervisor nor manager said goodbye to me or acknowledge my leaving at all, which I thought was a very cowardly move. OBJECTIVE CONS: - Depending on what department and team you're on, late nights are very common - Extremely low pay compared to industry average - Sloppy and irrelevant training- will be put into different departmental trainings by accident yet still are expected to attend and participate (example: I had to take an accounting training class even though I was in the operations department) this has happened to some of my other peers as well - Low number of vacation/sick days per year starting out
