I worked for SCI for over 10 years, lots of traveling so if you can’t be away from not for you, loved the work, good pay, only issue lots of miscommunication and sometimes schedule changes on the fly, to work here you have to be flexible with daily life, management is decent since the last time I worked there, safety driven but lots of laborers don’t follow them because they feel the rules aren’t for them, one big issue is worker shortage never seemed like they had enough people hard to get people in who are willing to travel and stay out up to two weeks at a time 

The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the customers to solve problems.  The most difficult part was implementing, testing and documenting new processes.  The overall culture was enjoyable.  Top management was very good.  Certain middle management managers were not suited to their positions.  I learned a lot about the industry and acquired deeper knowledge of the software and processes used.  A typical day entailed working with customers when needed and working on any assigned projects.

3 days remote 2 in the office so it varies. Overall no micromanaging. I take care of my work as needed.

Terrible management in Mo. Have no clue how to do their own job. Will one day get someone hurt or killed!! Bosses come to quarry and stand beyond the line of where there supposed to be on the edge of walls and have to be reminded. Can't keep machinery running, wastes alotta job time keeping them, pieced together.

This is not a place to be if you are not a "yes man". If you are a soldier willing to march into the line of fire (consistently due to poor management decision making at all levels) then you will be ok.

Some exceptional people currently remain in the organization but the company is unable to retain talent for long due to poor pay and management style.

Unless you are close-minded and a friendly-bobber (if that is a real word), I do not suggest you pursue this company. I am glad to be seperated from this company.

Good compensation and benefits. Understaffed and overworked environment. No room to grow. Management does not support their employees.  I did learn Azure cloud skills.

Not a positive place to work. Turnover is incredibly high. Within a 6 month period there was a 50% turnover within the company. Supervisors tend to work from home while expecting employees to be in office everyday. Pay is below average for industry.
