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

Pros

Good medical and dental insurance.

Cons

SAM, Inc. is a very strange place to work. The Austin office is the worst as far as politics and backstabbing are concerned. The Houston office is not managed as badly. The company treats the field crews and tech staff as disposable, with no concern for them. All in all a very poor place to work. There is a lot of politics and favoritism.
