Pros

No good will come out of this company unless your in the club. Health insurance , 401 K, the pay is good

Cons

Upper management literally has told managers that if hourly associates don’t like the amount of hours they are forced to work, then they can just quit. If your spouse has an issue with your work life balance don’t waste your time bringing it up to leadership because they genuinely do not care. Larger facilities are overwhelmed and under staffed and will work you 60-70 hours a week and if you call off of work for a mandated weekend shift even if only given a 24 hour noticed you will be penalized. Mandated weekends aren’t so bad, but most facilities are mandated each weekend. And has been that way for months and some even over a year. Regional managers are on the hit list and micromanage good terminal managers to the point that they have zero control of what happens day to day, and when their plans fail, the TMs get fired. Supervisors are underpaid and still work 6 days a week. The only people that are treated like they actually matter are drivers. Dock workers, supervisors, Operations managers, ATMs and TMs are completely disposable and are set up to fail from day one. Forced to do unethical things to push numbers so stale holders believe the company is performing well. Meanwhile the people suffer. Horrible work life balance, horrible training, horrible upper management. STAY AWAY!!!

Pros

You don’t have anybody looking over your shoulder. You are home every day. The pay is pretty darn good. Good work/life balance

Cons

Inward facing camera. Used as a disciplinary tool and not a coaching tool. Point system.

Thank you for helping us keep the freight moving for 3 years! We appreciate your feedback and are grateful you enjoy being a part of the Saia family. We also value knowing your concerns about the driver-facing cameras, so thank you for sharing those details.
