Nice place to work, great employee culture

Pros

There's really a lot of nice people at SanMar. Hands down this the best place I've ever worked. At some companies, departments like IT, HR, Payroll, or Sales don't have time for you and can be stuffy and not helpful when you need something, but not here. Employees matter and management cares. It's common to see the owners in the cafeteria w/ everyone else at lunch time.

Cons

If you live closer to Seattle the commute can suck, but at least I have the option to work from home.
