Pros

This is a company that states it seeks diversity in its management. I hope that to be true one day. If you can talk about the latest football results and debate teams, this is the place for you.

Cons

The good ole boy club is strong here. Most women that have who have ideas and improvement suggestions are set aside, even persecuted. I had words said to me after suggesting process improvements such as “our process is great, we just need to follow it.” When people do not inherently follow your process, a root cause and analysis needs to be done to improve the process or hold people accountable. I’m sure they will choose similar leadership to what existed before, just in a different male form. Always males. Nearly all males running each plant. There were people at that plant gone now that could have improved your profit. Though my multiple degrees and multiple years of Saft knowledge was clearly not enough (the wrong degrees, not engineering). Apparently that makes me incapable of learning, right?

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.
