Pros

This is the best company I have ever worked for. They really care about their employees. They spend the money they should to make everyone happy. Their brand new building is amazing and the people are great. You don't walk past anyone in the hall without each of you saying hello. Very bright people and hard working. They truly believe in their values and legacy. The Savage brothers did an amazing job building such a good thing from the ground up.

Cons

Some of the pay could be higher. Make sure management has specific training on people skills and positive reinforcement.

Pros

Pay can be good if you're willing to move anywhere but you may end up in North Dakota or Saudi Arabia. The annual meeting is a nice get away. Company paid for you and a guest. There are good smart people in this company but there are are also incompetent people who have a job because of who they know.

Cons

My biggest regret is spending so much of my career with Savage. Be keenly aware of last names at Savage. Not just the Savage name but some of the senior leaders. You'll find that they tend to hire family member. Lost of nepotism and croneyism going on. The easiest way to be promoted at Savage is to have the right last name. They preach a lot of values but when it come down to it the people don't believe. I was with the company for almost a decade in a professional position. I moved for them twice, worked weekends and even spend weeks in squalor (no running water, no electricity) in the field. When it came down to it, they "let me go" because of "something" I did five years previous (I had been promoted since). They were more concerned about the bottom line then treating their people right.
