Pros

Benefits are great. 7% 401k match. A lot of very nice people work here. If you like busy work, this can get very busy and challenging. For Valdosta, pay is competitive. Have a pretty cool break area where you can buy drinks, snacks, and food.

Cons

Certain work departments are overworked and management over looks that. I'm not sure if supervisors are told what to say, but I hear, "I'm working on it" constantly and rarely see results. Very shorthanded where I work and when I tried to talk to HR, I was accused of trying to get more money and having negative thinking, so I better stop. This place is already a ticking time bomb with their employment base mostly 55 or over and they chase away any chance they have of getting new employees. That encounter with HR was the most disgusting representation of the company I've seen. Wouldn't listen and looked at phone a few times. Became visibly upset and made assumptions. How can I work somewhere when my advocate for a fair hearing won't listen? My supervision lied to HR during the meeting as well. Issues that actually matter around the plant get overlooked because of money. Always looking for ways to save a penny.

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.
