Pros
Southwire can be an amazing company to work for. Great pay (I make $23/hr with only a high school diploma.) I take home about $700/week after tax, 401k, insurance, ect. The Richards family (whom own Southwire) are great people. The readily reinvest in the company and they are growing the Carrollton GA area. Their business strategies are buy, buy, buy! They buy all of their competition I.E. Coleman Cable. There opportunities are their, but you have to be willing to marry the company if you're going to advance.
Cons
Depending on your plant location you can have amazing managment or horrible managment. That alone is the difference between your job being gravy, or being miserable. I have worked 12/hr/day/ 7/week for a very long time because management refused to fill open positions. I understand that they are trying to avoid layoffs, but we can't be expected to work constantly. The 14 on 1 off rule is BS.
