Unbiased & Still Employed - Field Sales Manager Samsung Electronics America Employee Review

Pros

Excellent benefits (SEA Only) & decent pay

Cons

Horrible work life balance. Never a set schedule and punished for taking PTO by having to make up days missed once you return. Field sales managers feel like retail employees based on leadership directives, which constantly change by the week. None of which helps with our never ending schedule changes mid cadence which ruins our executive presence in-store. no one really gets reimbursed for mileage so in turn, our car's need heavy maintenance for only about $5-$10 back in return a week for gas. I could go on but all in all, I'm still with the company (for now) so until a better opportunity that's financially rewarding with good enough benefits presents itself, I will reluctantly remain an FSM.

Pros

Met very smart, talented colleagues - enjoyed working with some of the people on the team, and learned many applicable, valuable technical skills. Some projects provide opportunities to learn new skills and can launch interesting products. The food is good.

Cons

All the previous reviews about the culture are 100% accurate. Overall very poor management and direction from the upper level, which trickles down into the team. Office politics and conflicting direction from HQ, too many meetings just to prove the work is being done, resulting in little to no trust in the US team - constant surveillance, questioning, and general misalignment of objectives. Company culture and team morale is overall quite low, and little recognition and appreciation from management for hardworking teams on the working levels. Also, it doesn’t seem like there is much room to grow, just more work added with little promotional opportunities. ALSO: RTO 5 days in office was unreasonable, had no justification, with no productivity data to show reasoning - seemed to be a rash decision from the HQ side as a form of control and to push people into soft layoffs (Their "Q&A" sessions are just beating around the bush about this specific reasoning).
