Pros

Decent pay when you work. Decent benefits

Cons

More focused on purchasing new companies than taking care of their current one. Travel required or lose your job. Micromanagement is over the top. Double and triple checks on everything. Don’t trust that you have done your job properly the first time. Premature cancellation of workdays

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your time with SAM. Your feedback is invaluable as we continuously strive to improve our workplace environment and culture. We appreciate your perspective on acquiring new companies. We see these acquisitions as vital steps in our growth and success trajectory. By expanding our portfolio, we open doors to more opportunities for our employees. Each acquisition brings forth new avenues for professional development while also allowing SAM to provide a more diverse portfolio of solutions to our clients, advancing the work we do. While we regret hearing about your experience with micromanagement, at SAM, we prioritize fostering an environment where employees are entrusted with autonomy and encouraged to work independently. Many of our team members operate within their groups successfully, demonstrating our belief in empowering individuals to excel in their roles. Quality is at the forefront of everything we do. Our dedication to thoroughness and ensuring quality is rooted in our commitment to excellence in service. We understand that this process may seem excessive at times, but it ensures that our clients receive nothing short of the highest standard of work, which is paramount to our reputation and success. Regarding travel requirements, we acknowledge that certain positions within SAM do necessitate travel. This is intrinsic to the nature of our work. However, we strive to be transparent about the expectations associated with each role. If travel is not aligned with your preferences, we encourage employees to explore other internal opportunities that better suit their needs and aspirations. Once again, thank you for your feedback. We value the time you spent with us and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
