Pros

-12-15 years ago they were a good company to work for, but a lot has changed since the division manager changed hands -Flexibility

Cons

-upper management are some of the greediest people you will ever meet -upper management will never admit "they" are wrong, they will find someone to blame and force them out -they pay you just enough to keep you from looking for a new job -if you're not in the "club" they will eventually make you the scapegoat

Thank you for your review. As a former Southland employee, you are aware that people and accountability are two of our core values and providing personal and professional growth for our employees is a measurement of our success. As we continue to grow and create new opportunities for our employees, we view this as a positive attribute of Southland that historically has been a major source of excitement for our current and perspective employees. We also recognize that when growth occurs and employees are promoted, new leadership styles come into play which may differ from previous leadership. While some employees may not find this comfortable for them personally, we encourage our employees to discuss these concerns when they arise. We also recognize that if an employee is unable to adjust to the constant growth that Southland is currently experiencing, change may be necessary at some point. Regarding the comments on greed, blame and special employee treatment, I would have to say that your observations are not the norm. While it’s true that Southland firmly believes in the concept of accountability, we do not place blame on anyone who could not have risen above their circumstances and taken ownership to achieve a desired outcome either internally or externally. Furthermore, there is no level within the organization that is exempt from that statement. Historically we’ve made some tough decisions to support this commitment to accountability by placing the right people in the right seats for the benefit of the organization, as opposed to benefiting any one person individually. Mike Miller Mid-Atlantic Division Leader

Pros

7-12s, a few good people.

Cons

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.
