Pros

SAM makes a strong effort to take care of its employees with benefits, events, parties, etc. They invest a lot in new technology.

Cons

Lots of political nonsense. If that stuff doesn’t bother you then you should be good. Some teams are worse than others.

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it. SAM tries to create a good and positive work environment for our employees and we are proud to be voted as a Top Workplace for six consecutive years. This recognition is truly an honor for us as it is based on our employees’ feedback on how we are doing to create an environment that provides challenges and opportunities for growth. All companies, big and small, suffer from office politics and I would agree that it is unproductive. Although we can never eliminate this, we will continue to make an effort to keep office politics to a minimal. Thank you for your advice, as it serves as a reminder of the importance of interacting with all level of employees to improve our culture, and it gives us opportunities to stay connected with them.

Pros

Location, Nice working environment, Good people, Somewhat competitive compensation

Cons

Continue to hire/promote management's buddies while laying off skilled employees. Classic good ole boys club. Opportunity is rewarded for flattery not performance. Work quality is taking serious dive.

Pros

Location is great. Nice office and staff. Too many changes. No job security. Parking area is conveniently located to the entrance.

Cons

Interesting we came to work today and they brought in pizza for lunch and was told our manager/leader resigned. I find this very suspicious. I know our manager would not resign. Our manager worked very hard to make the Houston office a great place and has a very positive reputation in our surveying community. I will find out the truth!
