Pros
Pro- the people who are genuine are truly nice. A handful of managers try to make a difference. Good medical benefits, clothing discounts, remote work, onsite cafe.
Cons
If this is your preferred working environment then SanMar is the place for you. Some people have worked their whole career here and couldn’t get another job so they feel threatened and perpetuate the office politics, discriminatory hiring, firing, and promotions, and support the concept of nepotism all over the company. The amount of backstabbing, boot licking and lying that goes on here is unbelievable. Those in power to change the culture only perpetuate this because they knowingly allow AND REWARD this. People are nice but the so many are fake. There is a lot of competition between people and many play unfair. No one talks about it because many want to pretend it does not exist because everyone is so “nice”. I complained to my manager several times about racist undertones but when you have no managers and few foreigners or minorities in the company they say you must have interpreted whatever happened wrong. BS. Glad I left there. I have been at my new company for several months and urge others to get out!!! Game of Thrones…The Hunger Games….SanMar….so much in common.
