Pros

It's truly hard to find any, sad to say. Salary is good but below comps for the area.

Cons

I worked for a company they acquired and frankly I shake my head everyday at what Southwire is doing. Management is nothing but layer upon layer of people that none of which take ownership of their duties. They will spend absorbent amounts of money on "safety" but will not spend a dime on proper tools for the employees. They work their way into your personal life and do everything short of demanding you perform community service in their name. Hello? I already volunteer in my spare time but I do it in service to the group I help. I do not do it to make Southwire look good. If you are not one of the chosen ones or a good 'ole boy; you're out of luck no matter how much you bring to the table and go above & beyond in your duties.

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.
