I worked at SAFT

Pros – The relationships created were great. Everyone there worked hard toward whatever the weekly goal was.

Cons – Poor senior managment made very bad decisions daily. Most decisions required a ton of red tape and trying to get something done was very difficult

Advice to Senior Management – Don't be afraid to eliminate poor preformers and set goals then hold people to them
