Pros

Very high pay, and the super friendly environment are about the only pros. I really enjoy talking and working with the procurement team as well as the logistics upper management as well as the production management. They are extremely good people.

Cons

If you're in leadership you are expected/required to work several roles but be paid for one. Their business model is they will pay you well over the national average but with shortstaff your department and expect you and the team you lead to work 10+ hours per day. Saft almost doesn't have employee retention. People are constantly leaving due to poor management decisions and the extreme work hours due to short staffing departments. The other huge con is they will hire outside the organization before they promote. They usually will not look for talent within the company first, but rather as a last resort, so do not expect to be promoted unless you've been there 15+ years.

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.
