Saati Americas

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at SAATI. The Composites and Protection (P&C) division was a start-up process in the U.S. (OEM in Italy). Day to day operations were extremely stressful for all involved, due to the rehab of a 200K sq. ft. facility that was previously geared for micro-chip production. In the midst of retrofitting the plant for SAATI production requirements (weaving, clean room, scouring room...), we also integrated the New York (printing fabric) and Chicago (chemical and filtration production) into the South Carolina facility. On a daily basis, I received requisitions (little pieces of paper) to purchase, and in most cases, the lead time requested was today or tomorrow. And since few of the "new" hires for P&C were not experienced with SAP, it was a constant challenge to get the production master plan to reflect the sales forecast. Moreover, it was a make to order environment. This was always in constant conflict with purchase requirements, budgets and R&D. Analysis was constant and time-consuming. However, I would not trade that experience for any other opportunity. I met and worked with highly qualified and dedicated personnel on every level. We were committed to the success of our company and every division therein.

The reason why the buyer planner role is/was salaried is that they don't want to pay  YOU overtime for the extra work that they'll have you doing. The purchasing, emails, and follow-ups can be done within an 8-hour work day. However, you will be forced to attend pointless meetings, create at least 5 different reports, and vendor scorecards, create codes, etc. You may have to work 60 hours a week. You will not get paid for the 20 extra hours you're expected to work because the position is salaried. If the reports are that important for the team to do, then SAATI should hire an analyst to do all of the reports. That would free the buyers to focus on their jobs. Also, reducing the number of meetings the buyers are required to attend would give them more time to focus on other things. 30 minute-1hour meetings really should be truncated to a 60 second read on an email.

SAATI believes in challenging and rewarding our employees for a job well-done. The management team is committed to nurturing talent and empowering individuals to explore their potential, even beyond their comfort zone, to enhance productivity. They set high expectations and provide the necessary resources to meet them. For early career professionals, SAATI is an excellent opportunity to launch their career and gain valuable experience.

The culture here is fun and relaxed, especially compared to other companies this size.  There are opportunities for advancement - they'll even create a position for you based on your performance if you're doing well enough.  Work/life balance is refreshing - the company values your personal life just as much as they value your performance.

The pay is not as strong as other companies, but personally, I find the other benefits above to make up for the lack in pay.  It's a great place to work if you're entry-level & up.

Great place to work. The company takes care and appreciates their employees. They are very accommodating and understanding if you have a family emergency. As an employee I truly enjoy coming to work! The work environment has truly been an eye opening experience, it has shown me how a company really cares and takes pride in their employees. I take in pride in my work and also very boastful to others that I have been giving the privilege to work. 

Saati has shown me how to multitask while constantly re-prioritizing my next task.

The company has an Italian parent company controlling many key aspects of how the company should be ran.

They have decided to move all operations to South Carolina from New York and completely replaced a department with a combined 25 years worth of experience.

This company would gladly spend a dollar to save a penny, and has gone back on every personal agreement that I have made with them.

Overall this was a great company. I loved it. Very fast-paced and professional. It was just time for me to move on. Ive always wanted to try other things and see the states Now I'm settled down seeking employment with another wonderful company.

Being a smaller company, you can run into ceilings but I believe opportunities are developed for those who create value for themselves. Many positions are promoted from within and many people have stayed for 10+ years. The work-life balance and flexibility is 2nd to none. Training is something they can improve on for sure but there are resources if you reach out. 

The best company I have worked for. Management and HR really make it that much better.  I took a  job here as a demotion from a management position to help take care of my terminally sick father at the time (they offer incredible work/life balance that my previous employer did not even match by half) and have since been promoted twice. Dedication and hard work really do not go unnoticed here.

It’s an amazing place to work, every one is friend and always has a smile on their face. They like to help balance your work an life situation and help when needed. I recommend Saati to anyone looking for a friendly well paid job that looks out for the benefit of its employees
