Don't drink the Kool-Aid

Business Outlook

Pros

As per the "family values", people company-wide are mostly nice — but they're hard-pressed to recall, let alone embody, any other values. Work/life balance is "good", because the majority of people rarely work hard or feel true accountability.

Cons

A culture of "be nice" fosters rampant passive aggression and insincerity. The management style is yes-men kowtowing to family owners while ineffective and miserably concocted projects rule the day.

Pros

Friendly coworkers and culture, ample parking, nice employee discount

Cons

Benefits are fairly mediocre for a company of this size, 90 day waiting period until health insurance kicks in is ridiculous, old school management

Pros

SanMar is a great place to get into account coordinator or account executive roles. The product training is fairly intensive while the training varies from session to session. Training is ongoing to keep employees abreast of the continuously changing product.

Cons

Sometimes communication from upper management becomes a block to creating a productive space. The communication sometimes does not happen where it could. For the most part an attempt is made.
