Pros

The benefits and salary are highly competitive.

Cons

The culture here is broken...they will tell you that all the bad reviews are old, and that new management has fixed the problems. They have NOT. The management here thrives on confrontational blame game. Turn over is high because of this, and almost anyone with experience has left the site. Those who remain are either good at the game, or are just broken because of the culture. And as 2020 approaches (employment obligations from government contracts will be finished) the future of the site is unknown. Take a job here if you enjoy getting thrown into a mess of problems, without training or guidance, and attacked by every angle while trying to solve them.

Pros

Saft is very accommodating. They’re very flexible. They do a good job of promoting from within. There are some really good managers that really care about their people, and what they do. There are some employees that truly care about what they do and are willing to help wherever needed. This company has a lot of different ways an entry level employee can grow. Benefits package and 401k are very competitive.

Cons

Overall management is lacking. Engineering and their inability to problem solve is dragging the company down. There is very little accountability from the top down. Decisions are made predominantly by engineering with little input from area experts, yet results are not owned by those decision makers. Quality over quantity is preached but rarely shown if a decision between the two needs to be made. Pay is less than comparable businesses in the area, and the incoming talent reflects that. Company grew way too fast and overall culture and morale have suffered.
