Lack of proper management, bad buddy system

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

More hours than you can handle, so although you may work for less money than you deserve, when you X that by 100 hours a week the paycheck gives the illusion of being big.

Cons

Constantly trying to get you to violate safety regulations, forcing you to work too many hours without proper rest, causing heavy fatigue. The buddy system protects lazy employees to sit & do nothing while a coworker does all the work. This company is new in the pipeline industry, they haven't quite figured it out and have so much to learn.

Pros

I just completed my 6 months professional life with SAM Corporate. In these 6 months, I have learned so many new things and SAM has given me an immense opportunity to help understand my caliber. The interesting part is every employee's idea or initiative will be taken into consideration which ensures the growth of the organization. I have seen persistent career growth in all the SAM employees within a short span. I feel more like a family working with SAM.

Cons

I have not yet faced any downside working with the organization
