Business Outlook
Pros
Secure company with good benefits. Southern Company has a company/employee pay incentive where they match up to six percent of your salary. Free money is hard to beat. They also have a stock plan that is hard to beat. Southern company is a great public utility company to invest. Never has Southern Company taken a drastic drop on the stock market.
Cons
Long hours with no comp time. It is tough to work ten to twelve hours a day as well as weekends. You are paid for the time you put in but there is little time left for yourself. If there was a way to add vacation time for the long hours it would be a great incentive to work the long hours.
