What is the best part of working at the company?
In the Atlanta office we always worked as a team….enjoyed my work mates…. Got to travel and no one standing over your shoulder…. If you worked and performed this company let you do your job !!! Great Place to work !!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Scheduling account fitting too close together and not having enough time to get the shoes on your truck to sell….The shoe could always be ordered once the customer was on the truck, but when ordered the salesman gets no commission 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great work environment… everyone works as a team…if you have a question you can always count on your teammates to help you get an answer…Few places I’ve worked have the friendship and culture we had….I’ve been away from the company for some time and my friends and past workmates would still be available if I needed them….On holidays we had catered lunches and employees from many years back still come and enjoy lunch together!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
For me on some days I would load my truck and on others I would have fittings to go to…. Some days I had both … load and fittings

This safety shoe company sells their products in a variety of ways (via websites, mobile shoe stores and retail locations) and has many departments existing to support the development of the products, warehousing, inventory fulfillment, sales and customer service aspects of the business.  There is a lot of work to be done and most employees work hard and strive to represent the company well.  There are various positions available within the company with reward for a job well done and opportunities for advancement.  
The recent fast growth has created some challenges, but everyone is working to adapt and implement new systems to handle the growth.  Communication between departments and locations can be a bit challenging, as is staying up with the consistently growing and changing staff, but this is a small price to pay for continued growth and job stability.
This family owned business strives to sell quality products and provide good customer service.  The ownership genuinely cares about its employees.

A typical day at Saf-Gard consists of pulling a plethora of different shoes, boots , crocs, and sneakers from the back warehouse. After they are pulled I go to my shipping stations and  ship single shoe orders and/or multiple shoes at one time. The shoes are shipped to huge franchise companies usually, as well as our everyday customers. I've learned how to ship very large quantities of shoes all at once with out error. The management team for the most part is pretty laid back, as long is the job is done accurately. I would have to say the hardest part of the job is time management. There have been times where we haven't been able to ship all the orders out before our scheduled time to leave, so we had to stay late which I personally do not mind at all. The most enjoyable part of the job I would have to say are the co- workers. Their personalities make the job more enjoyable.

Working at Saf-Gard is challenging and rewarding. I'm given an opportunity to make an impact through my work and feel that my input is valued by my department and leadership. The team challenges each other to continually improve the brand, products, customer experience, and our own work process. When we have an idea it's most often met with enthusiasm and a willingness to discuss further (within our team and management). 

Our department is very hard working, energetic and gets along really well. We have a lot of fun on our "in-office" days sitting together in our war room brainstorming new ideas or playing pranks on each other. 

There are a lot of big-picture tasks and day-to-day requests which means there are often a lot of competing priorities. Balancing those is the hardest part of the job. 

I started here in January 2020 and covid-19 hit. I was laid off and was call back to work the showroom as a retail specialist. I am now the Retail Sales Manager. The one thing I do like is the health insurance there are three plan starting at $0 cost and the Rally (Real Appeal) weight lost program is the best I have lost over 20lbs United Health and Rally. The health coach and nurses that stay in touch to help you meet you health and weight goals. At our location our co-work treat each other like family. This company also has room for advancement. So saying that, this is not just a job but a career. And the own Mr. Pat has even can in our store and asked for my opinion on everyday operations  that can improve our customer service.

I enjoy going to work every day. My team is great to work with. 
On a typical day I work to assist customers in any way possible. It may be as simple as checking an order or correcting invoices. 
My team works together to ensure all invoices reach customers correctly and in a timely manner. This means meeting deadlines, which sometimes can be challenging. 
My team has support within Saf-Gard from teams and management who all work together. Starting with an order to the final invoicing. We could not do it alone. Teamwork is the key!
The most enjoyable parts of my job are working with everyone and learning new things. Our company is constantly growing and so is our computer system to match our customers’ demands. 
We invite you to join the family!


Safgard seemed like a good place to work.  The people appeared to be friendly and caring.  After a few years, I find that is not the case.  The pay is pretty low and you have to fight for any kind of increase. There are no performance reviews, so you never really know how you are doing or exactly what is expected.
 The computer systems in place hear feel like they are designed to make your work more difficult. 
You never actually have your PTO, it is always accruing. And they don't let you take any unpaid time off. The rules about overtime change constantly. 

When I started at Saf-Gard I was actually a CSR for SRMAX. I enjoyed the job and the people I worked with. I got a raise in a short amount of time of working there.... Being a mother of a young child the hours were challenging and I needed something that better fit her schedule. A position opened and I applied. I went through the same job hiring process and got the job!! I am now at Saf-Gard and love it here just as much!! The hours are absolutely perfect!! The employees are helpful and management is helpful (even if your not a direct part of their team)

I worked for Safgard's fairburn, GA location/MIM until November 2024, beware, if the account they locate you at is a large account (financially) they will let you go if that account wants you gone( no matter the circumstances with no explanation), the account I was located at had so many occasions of misconduct, of a particular nature, I never felt safe, sometimes security had to walk me to my car, definitely not a safe work environment for women and the pay is extremely low, so are the raises, this job should only be a stepping stone to better employment.

Company is very dirty no housekeeping
For the same amount to pay you can work Monday through Friday 8 to 4 somewhere else instead you’re scheduled to work weekends with no incentive in a post Covid world  :
no bonus no first day benefits paid delayed three weeks But they want you to work every weekend 
Laid off entire workforce except for a skeleton crew during Covid
There is no management One person steering committee
Communication is terrible
