Pros

The culture is the number one thing that stands out to me. You can tell people really love being here and love coming to work. After being at many other companies, it is clear that SanMar invests in its employees. It is the opposite of most other places. I have the freedom to work at my own pace and learn new things through additional training.

Cons

There isn't much upward mobility and many people aren't ok with that. It is important to point out that while you can't always climb the ladder, your position is continuously expanding and the potential for more responsibilities, growth and knowledge is endless.

Great job but no career opportunity.

Pros

Work from home is good and the pay is good for what we do. Nice office in Issaquah with good lunch room.

Cons

Low salary caps. No opportunity for upward movement without kissing major butt.

Pros

Family-owned and operated company allows for great work-life balance. Excellent benefits package and opportunity for growth. Work from home positions available throughout the company and the corporate office is an easy commute for anyone living on the Eastside. The owners invest a lot into their employees and your efforts are rewarded. Great organization and I hope to be here for another 10+ years.

Cons

I myself have had very few, if any, negative experiences, however I do know that each department can be a different type of experience depending on your manager. But if you have goals or seek opportunities within the organization, work hard and it will pay off.
