Pros

good cafe - good food at a good price newer building plenty of parking more good people than bad to work with most people are customer focused cornered market and SanMar is at the top (for now) loyal customer base

Cons

lowest pay in the area micromanagement culture little to no career opportunities or incentives for technology people cube farm work environment silo-ed organization that's expect to share resources not enough resources to accomplish what is expected technology infrastructure is about 3 decades behind the times and failing everyday lack of vision from leadership is profoundly crippling progress - working in IT is like sailing a boat without a rudder and any attempts to install one will result in consequences high turn over in IT very few paid holidays lack of transparency around company success and decision making

Pros

The people are genuine, and the owners truly care about the customers and employees. The goal is by doing the best for the customer, the company will succeed. The foundation is solid and sincere, and from that perspective a great environment.

Cons

Expectations of the Account Executives can be unrealistic. It is only possible to do one thing at a time and do it well. In the call center employees are given title account executive and pushed to drive the business, but not given the time to perform that job. Compensation is not reflective of the performance expected.

Pros

Working at home after training, benefits are good if you buy up, product discount.

Cons

Micro management in some areas, and none others. No real sense of being part of a team.
