Pros

Company is strong and likely not going anywhere. Houston, West Coast and East Coast branches are great to work for!

Cons

Consistent micro-management and no opportunity to grow. Unrealistic targets and it will never be enough. Only promotes based on race and gender or if you are friends with management. Never witnessed a promotion from the Irving branch. Management promotes based on friendship not based on results. No visibility into pricing, all quotes/pricing managed by inside sales manager. Outside sales position is only there to bring quotes to the team, any order is because of the team not the outside rep. Avoid working at the Irving location while under current management.. Have gone through 8+ OSR's in less than three years. This branch is seen as a joke in the industry and only receives orders based solely on pricing, no relationships beyond low pricing.

Pros

Good benefits at a reasonable cost

Cons

No respect or regard for employees. No transparency. The decision was made to rty to sell the Roll Form Group, without even telling the Employees of the Roll Form Group, for two years. According to the Samuel CEO press release, out out after they decided to close the plant. No effort to relocate employees to other Samuel locations. No effort to obtain replacement employment. Very sneaky and underhanded executive branch. If you are looking for a long term career, look elsewhere.
