Pros

-Great pay -Great benefits -Lots of opportunity to solve problems -Great HR personalities -Great folks in maintenance and engineering

Cons

-Certain toxic behaviors by specific people are not corrected by management through direct intervention or through HR, allowing for a hostile work environment -The toxic behaviors include insincere speaking, malicious conduct , slander, and pursuit of selfish ambition at the expense of others -The toxic behaviors are coming from certain folks in management positions -These behaviors are then learned by folks coming up in the ranks and perpetuated by management's purposeful or ignorant inaction -Since the work environment is perceived as toxic, there is a high turnover -Turnover leads to various projects and efforts falling through the cracks, and constant training, driving down performance of the business -Key people leave due to the turmoil and then further kills performance due to key business process information loss -Folks who stay are promoted to levels that are beyond there skill set and experience, which then perpetuates poor performance and toxic behaviors

Pros

good pay awesome benefits, nice facilities

Cons

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.

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.
