Pros

Interesting travel opportunities. Some nice colleagues.

Cons

Disaster of leadership. Unethical research - I wish I could give more specifics but I think my review was removed before for giving details. Enumerators were paid extremely poorly and pressured to work excessively, which made me extremely uncomfortable. Emotionally unstable leaders who are volatile, childish, and make promises to clients they don’t keep and staff are forced to tidy up after them. Work life balance horrible. I’ve know of many disasters beyond this that I wish I could detail so people could see how bad it is, but I think, again, specifics got this removed before. I’m so disappointed it continues to operate with how much unethical and shameful behavior drives this org.

Pros

Samuel Hall is a firm that I have been involved with since its inception, and being part of their growth has been exhilarating. It is a team of young, driven, smart people who care about helping others and each other. They are bold and creative, data driven, hard working. The directors of the firm are visionaries who put their staff first and care about their employees; they know their biggest asset is their team. They have done a great job elevating the next generation of leaders in order to focus on growing the platform. They have made it a point to always stay loyal to the firm’s values. They are very dedicated to Samuel Hall and truly passionate about their mission. They have surrounded themselves with a diverse team, with each employee bringing a different expertise to the table. They are all inspiring and it’s been an honor to be part of their journey.

Cons

As any firm that started small and breaking to the next level, there are some growing pains that the directors have been working on. They keep surrounding themselves with advisors and consultants to improve the way the company is run, make things more efficient, and make it a great place to work.
