Pros

employee owned; do a lot for their employees in the way of rewards;

Cons

Southco uses people. If you aren't "one of the click" you will never survive. Management is all men. There are 34 salaried supervisors and managers and only one is a woman. Even from this man's point of view, you can see it. It's an "old boys world". So many have been there 20 - 30 yrs that a newby will never fit in. Even though I was there for many years, I was never one of them. The managers don't develop their people at all. Not one of them that I saw.

Pros

- Coworkers are very nice & always willing to help - Bill was a great manager to work under, always understanding and very direct. Stephanie is also great, very friendly and always happy to help or listen - Opportunities to work in areas like tax, make sure you ask the person directly or ask the manager - They had events for healthcare, financial advising, massages, pet zoos - The accounting department had dinners every once in a while. Unfortunately, every time they planned them, I was already planning to go home.

Cons

- Can be very mundane, busy work at times - Everyone does keep to themselves for the most part, but if you're an introvert, you'll like it a lot
