Great Place to Work for People Who Love to Work
Pros
Savage is a great place if you like challenges in the workplace. If you're willing to put in the effort, there is success and growth waiting for you. There are a lot of opportunities for growth in your career, especially if you're willing to relocate. It's not a place for people who lack a work ethic, but if you have a traditional work ethic, you will be welcomed and succeed. The company does its best to keep up core beliefs and tries to be honest. Savage will take a risk by promoting employees to roles of greater responsibilities. The company reinvests in itself and seeks growth. Effort is put into employee safety. Incentives/bonuses are available. You get the feel that company leadership does care on a personal level about employees. Leadership is looking for new paths for growth in a challenging economy, and has a good track record of finding it.
Cons
Benefits and compensation are not overly generous. Again, the company is conservatively run and strategic so this plays into that. There is a good bit of high-risk work. Work-life balance is difficult to achieve sometimes.
