Pros

Good people, health, vision and dental.

Cons

Located in the ghetto, aside from my small office it feels like the only thing I know of Saia is the name badge they sent me in the mail. Stock options are broker fees waived only. Training is nonexistent. Upper management has absolutely no clue what I do and my management shrugs it off when “up” slathers on irrelevant tasks or makes uneducated statements. Under staffed and under paid. I may have overheard others jumping ship for less headaches, more pay and structure. I’m seeing opportunities out there paying 10k more for me as well. I might have a few sick days in a suit coming up.

Pros

Some flexibility with your schedule. The pay and benefits are ok.

Cons

The daily administrative work takes at least 50% of your time. Operations and Sales are not aliened, which seems to be the norm at most companies. Communication....not much of any really. You have to inquire and keep inquiring to get your requests processed or even acknowledge, if it does get acknowledged. High level of turn over and I can understand why.
