Flexible schedule but outdated systems hold back progress - Sr. ACCOUNTANT Southland Industries Employee Review

Good company culture, competitive pay, opportunity to grow and learn, internship program is excellent, project engineers learn a ton quickly

As an intern, I don't have any negative comments.

7-12s, a few good people.

Supervisor stood and wouldn’t let us leave till exactly 12:00 and wanted us back with tools in our hands at the exact second lunch was over. Management made bad decisions and had to stand on man lift handrails to WALK on pipe with nothing below us. Too cheap to rent a crane needed to make lifts with telehandler at max capacity and max radius. Had 300 people on site and a lunch tent built to hold 50 which is fine but prohibited any food or drink inside the building. Had to take lunch outside in the sun without shade in the Texas summer. No ice to keep water cool, wouldn’t buy even a tarp or umbrella while working on the roof with white vinyl reflecting light back up at you. This was a union job and this is single-handedly the worst experience I’ve ever had. Started non union and was treated worse on this job than on any other job in my 20 year career. Get this they fired a dead guy. Never even bothered to check on him or call his family. Man died in an accident and obviously didn’t show for 2 days. Called the hall to find a replacement and found out he had died. Tore up the paperwork and changed his status to hide that they’d fired him. Some of the most incompetent leadership (calling them that is a joke) I’ve ever seen.
