Pros

You can swear as much as you want. So that's a plus if you're into that.

Cons

The company takes advantage of newly-graduated kids by promising them the potential for career growth and the ability to move up in the company. However, in my two months working there, what I really noticed was the burnout rate was incredibly high. This is due to a number of factors. While employees are supposed to get off at 6 p.m. each night, thanks to excessive micro-managing by the CEO, expect to be there until 7 or even 8 p.m. Employees are also expected to work on Saturdays, so kiss any potential free time you have good bye. You do learn a lot as you're expected to do everything - manage clients, write copy, enact digital marketing strategies, etc. - but truthfully, you can get that experience in a much more structured and less stressful environment (and for a higher salary).

Pros

SAMA Labs is a great place to work for and work out. Since it is remote, you get the comfort of working from your own home which is a big plus. All of the managers are great and make sure you have the tools you need to succeed. Sometimes it can be stressful because we are a marketing company so there are occasionally tight deadlines, problem solving, and also sometimes a bit of overtime to get your work done. You are required to work a bit on Saturdays but that it upfront when you apply so if you don't have the time to work Saturdays and hustle, this job might not be the best for you.

Cons

Cons is also working from home too. We used to have an office before COVID but I miss seeing everyone sometimes and having that sense of community.
