    Pros

    $401k, pension, dental, vision, healthcare, and life insurance along with vacation days and personal/sick time. optional overtime as well as double time for working on holidays.

    Cons

    Upper management doesnt listen to the people on the floor, its a very toxic atmosphere and a whole lot of politics that are very unprofessional. If you report any sort of misconduct look forward to losing your job. They play favorites very heavily. They pick and choose which policies and procedures they are to follow.

    Great company, poor local management.

    May 31, 2023 - Machine Operator in Clearwater, FL

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great Benefits Plenty of career opportunities in the organization Competitive Salary Involved in manufacturing products that make a meaningful difference in the world.

    Cons

    Poor local front office management that refuses to get involved with the production workforce. Two separate job sites (Clearwater/Largo, FL) divide the workforce, requiring more employees for day-to-day functions that management refuses to hire. No core training regiment for onboarding new hires.

    Stay away

    Dec 29, 2022 - Customer Service Representative in Amherst, NY
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Pay was decent or so I thought until I was forced to move on and realized what better companies were offering. Sword I'd never work for another French company but I am and they're wonderful!! It's just Saint Gibson that's toxic! You can make more money, be appreciated for your skills, and actually LEARN SOMETHING AT ANY company other than this one! Best thing ever happened to me was getting fired from this job!! Firings are on a cost basis to their bottom line metric.. Nothing to do at all to your performance.. Ungrateful and cold as ice. Much better opportunities out there.. Just look, you will see better opportunities beyond S-G.. Much better pay, benefits and respect with the work that you do. This company makes impossible targets for you to achieve and bases your bonus on it. Swore I'd never work for a French Co. Again, but I am and they're wonderful! Appreciation backed up by real bonuses! Run from this company

    Cons

    Plentiful , managers in Amherst and Niagara falls ny
