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
