Pros

They actively work to provide good pay and benefits for their supervisors. Some leaders also work hard to provide development opportunities. The leadership tries to maintain a culture of teamwork and fun.

Cons

Despite the attempts of the leadership to provide the aforementioned teamwork and fun culture, the stress caused by LONG hours and the stress of meeting extremely strenuous deadlines and production minima results in a lot of conflict and distress. The hardest part as a Production Supervisor was trying to motivate people to work their hardest even through upwards of 10 hours of overtime per week while maintaining their minimum production statistics, while diffusing the constant conflicts that occur among the team members as a result. The stress is also present for the Supervisors, who have to fight these fires and assuage the frustration of the hourly employees.

Pros

Work-life balance encouraged from the top down. Productive employees with a good attitude are acknowledged and rewarded for their performance. Open door policy and anyone can feel free to talk with anyone in management for direction, input, help, problem solving. Depending on the department & role within SanMar offers employees the option to work remotely which is a huge bonus. Many of us have worked at SanMar for many years & really feel part of the SanMar family. It is such a great place to work!

Cons

There are not many cons to working at SanMar. It truly is a great place to work. The couple I can think of are: Depending on the department, there are not a lot of opportunities for growth in regards to leadership. The IT department does not offer competitive or high paying salaries in comparison to the same role at other technology companies.
