Saft reviews

Team leads have favorites that can do no wrong, If they don't like you for any reason, personally or professionally, they find a way to get you fired. Most of the supervisors are pretty easy to get along with, you have an idea to help production they will listen and encourage you but as soon as it gets passed on to team leads it becomes a bad idea because they did not come up with it. Managers seemed to be job scared all the time and take shortcuts to accomplish goals in timely manner, constantly changing procedures and always looking to blame someone else. HR is awesome always willing to help the associates out whenever possible. As for associates, they operate on a bully mentality, They become friends with team leads then think they are covered. one team member refuses to wear PPE all the time as required however team lead will not do anything about it as they are smoking buddies. Another team member tried to pick a fit when they were reported for walking off while leaving their operating equipment running unattended but again Team Lead covered his smoking buddies. One operator refuses to train people assign to them for training resulting in the new member getting let go because they are not learning fast enough.

It is very difficult to get hired unless you know someone in the company. Most of the interns have a parent working there. I was fortunate enough to get the job by knowing a guy who used to work there and he connected me to the current engineering manager. Also, I was contacted by Saft for the first time only a week before I started my internship. The hiring process was quick but it felt too rushed for me. On the other hand I wasn't even interviewed before being offered the job, which is guess is a pro.
