Pros

At first, SamCart seemed like an awesome place. The unlimited PTO and benefits were great, as were some of my coworkers. I loved the teams and people I got to meet during my short few months here. I’m truly thankful that I had the opportunity to meet about ten of the people I liked there.

Cons

Leadership and upper management is very clique-y. I don’t think the company is as authentic as it claims to be, and the talk of diversity and inclusion is never practiced. Layoffs were handled terribly— a last minute company all hands was put on the calendar and the CEO and co-founders took a whole two minutes to announce thirty people were being laid off and seconds later, we were locked out of all accounts and information. They give you a mere few minutes to go over your severance, but nothing felt sincere and everything was completely unexpected.

SamCart recently made the difficult decision of implementing layoffs due to a significant shift in our business's strategic direction. Throughout this process, we remained committed to upholding our core company value, "Be Human." Our approach involved meeting with each affected team member individually, expressing our gratitude for their dedicated time with us, and carefully explaining the severance package. To our former team members, please be aware that our commitment to supporting you remains steadfast. We are available to provide references, leverage our networks, and assist with any other needs you may have during this transition. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive for continued growth and improvement. We take pride in the vibrant culture we have cultivated at SamCart and our ability to offer outstanding benefits that ensure our employees love their jobs at least 80% of the time.

Company growth has been relatively flat, which has limited opportunities for upward mobility and career progression over time.
