Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Terrible company and work environment. Top management only interested in keeping all their profits in their pockets. No career growth. Except few exceptions, top engineering staff are dumbest I have seen around because they have been promoted for reasons other than merit. Forget about any promotion if not white, instead top guys will trick you and humiliate you. And please don't respond with your BS, I have worked with the ELT guys so I know how top guys work and think. Prospective job seekers: If you have any shred of ambition, avoid this company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us on Glassdoor. It is unfortunate to read that you may have experienced a lack of career advancement opportunities. We are proud that we can provide internal mobility and career experiences for our employees, but recognize that every employee's career development journey will look different. We encourage employees to drive their career development and to have annual career conversations with their managers. Every year, Southland promotes many employees from all disciplines and backgrounds, helping to continue build their careers with us. While we respect your opinion, many of the reviews on Glassdoor and the employee feedback we gathered this year from our People First Engagement Survey indicates that Southland is a great place for ambitious and driven people to build a career. Also, Southland Industries is officially Great Place to Work-Certified™. This is a nationally recognized certification that we are proud to celebrate and share with current and future talent. In addition, according to our recent survey, which closed just a month ago, 92% of employees said that Southland is a great place to work — 33 points higher than the average U.S. company. Southland has long been recognized as a top specialty contractor in all markets, mostly due to the people we employ — we are only as good as our people make us. Southland is known to have highly respected industry engineers on staff who are designing and innovating some of the most complex, unique, and technologically advanced projects in the nation. At Southland, we are proud of the benefits and rewards we offer employees. These benefits support our employees’ needs at home, work, and beyond. As a 100% employee-owned, private company, we offer a competitive benefits package that includes health and wellness benefits with non-obligation employer HSA contributions (100% paid for employees), equal parental leave (100% paid leave for mothers, fathers, and guardians), 401K with a 50% match with no cap, paid vacation and time-off accruals that increase with tenure, annual incentive bonuses, and more. We believe our benefits and rewards reflect how much we value our employees. We appreciate all the efforts of our people, past and present, which has made Southland a great place to work. I'd like to wish you all the best in your next career endeavor. -- Wendy Montgomery, Director, Talent Management

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.
