Pros

Good people to work with, benefits are great, pay is decent. Its ok if you can get on days. 12hr swing shift is where the good money is at.

Cons

In the bremen facility its all about who you suck up to and not about how well you do your job. Hopefully that will change when southwire completely takes over and the carrs will no longer be in charge. No room for advancement especially in the wharehouse. You are expected to do higher up jobs than what yours is without being compensated for it. Wharehouse management is way to passive when it comes to enforcing the rules and regulation would rather push it under the table than take of it. Oh and dont dare say anything about the wharehouse lead or will find yourself without a job. Shows alot of favoritism towards certain people. No supervision on the weekends in the warehouse workers sit around and talk for hrs upon time costing southwire money.

Pros

Okay pay for the area.

Cons

Previous management made poor hiring decisions and micromanaged the facility. Morale lowered less got done, with horrible favoritism. Certain employees were allowed to work 12 hour days while others were told there was no overtime. Employees who should have been terminated for sexual harassment were promoted to supervisors. Supervisors dated employees they supervised and were kept around instead of fired when caught. Watched employees do less and less, management finally left and better management came in only for the facility to be shut down after being in the area for 50 years. No real reason given other than spreading our work to other facilities. I worked there for 15 years and watched the company go continuously downhill under previous management only for the manager to leave after wrecking the culture and the corporate to shut us down soon after.
