Pros

Safe Life Defense is one of the fastest growing companies in the country and it shows. The company has an amazing ability to get through any hardships that may come its way. The owner is constantly pushing for the growth of the company and the employees. He is pretty direct about expectations and areas for improvement. He wont stand for less than excellent but it never came off to me in any rude or aggressive way. For me, it really works. The environment evolves very quickly at Safe Life Defense. New buildings are built, people are moved, new product lines are developed, reiterated and improved again and new areas of growth are explored. It is never a boring day. Lots of PTO and flexible hours.

Cons

Honestly, this company may not be for everyone. If you are expecting to just show up, breeze through the day and punch out you are in for a tough time. The company grows quickly and you're expected to do the same. Ff you dedicate yourself to growing you will be supported throughout the way and you'll learn a ton of new and valuable skills.

Fantastic growth opportunity

Pros

SLD is booming! Last year, when everyone was laying off people due to pandemic, we grew and almost doubled in size. We are making/manufacturing a great product and having the production under own roof guarantees high quality, so the demand is great. Yes, it is pretty cool knowing that our company supports first responders and law enforcement, saving lives, and we provide jobs for Americans. We just moved to a cool new building off easily accessible both from Henderson and Vegas, as we outgrew our old digs last year. Our CEO is a visionary who started this business from his garage 5 years ago and we are employing close to 90 employees now. The team is diverse and friendly. Some people keep to themselves but there is nothing wrong with that. Our new HR Director is great and she is on a mission to make this place even more awesome with some initiatives. She genuinely cares about all employees and is interested to help us grow with the company. If you work hard and want to grow, this place is great for you. We already saw several people getting promoted and that is motivating. Keep it up!

Cons

I wish we had covered parking. The new location in Henderson is too far for some people who live in North Las Vegas. Some fun team activities would help employees get to know each other better, but I guess that is coming too.
