Samsung Electronics reviews

This is the most unethical, unorganized, and unstable place I have ever worked at. Be prepared to work six days(12 hours)/week. This is great if you are an hourly associate since you will receive overtime pay. However, if you are salary do not expect to receive overtime pay. Supervisors are paid $12.50/hr on Saturdays. That's right $12.50/hr on Saturdays. We make less than hourly associates on Saturdays. Area Leaders make more than supervisors with all the overtime we are working. Some Area Leaders base pay is over $20/hr and $30+ with overtime. Supervisors are well underpaid (salary range $49k-$70k+) when considering the amount of time spent in the plant as well as the workload. There is a major disconnect between HR and supervisors on the production floor. We are treated like incompetent children by HR. They do not take the time to establish a professional relationship with us. The communication between HR and management here is extremely poor. There is no chain of command in the way information is delivered. Quite often the associates will receive pertinent information before the supervisor. This place is also not a safe place to work at. Safety is not a top concern to upper management. The turnover rate is alarming high. We lost at least 20 salary employees within the month of July alone. I have been working at SEHA for less than six months and I am leaving as soon as I find another job.

All the strategic direction and decisions come from the Korean headquarters; and unless you are Korean, you are treated like a second-class citizen and your ideas and contributions are not be valued. There is very little transparency and sharing of information within the company. They have no idea how to “collaborate” or “innovate”. Majority of senior executives are from Korea and they are quite rude, disrespectful and raise their voices. HR is unable to shift the culture of the company so that a company that has offices and presence in the US adheres to US values and professionalism in the workplace. Women especially are treated badly as Koreans are quite chauvinistic and expect everyone to bow to them - literally. Despite its new building in San Jose, Samsung is a rotten company!
