Pros

They are pretty competetive when it comes to pay. My manager always understand when I need time off and management knows the market well. the senior management knows how to handle the business and budget well.

Cons

Career advancement isnt a strong point. When they are coveted position that are desired many people don't leave. It is a good thing for the person working in the positon but bad for someone looking to move in. The IT deparment hasn't expanded in many years and doesn't look to be improving anytime. The oppurtunity to expand isn't offered to many. The selective few get a chance to move up in the company.

Pros

I believe this is a great place for students to work. The pay is great and the hours aren' t too bad.

Cons

One downside to working at Saia is that parttime employees are not offerred any benefits. Also, in order to earn vacation time or get paid holidays, a person has to average at least 25 hours a week to get these benefits. These hours can sometimes be hard to get for a student especially when the managers try their best to keep hours at a minimum.
