Pros

Decent pay southwire as an organization isn’t bad decent benefits good coworkers

Cons

Middle management is horrible especially in field services they over delegate everything it seems as if their goal is to make your life more difficult they micromanage everything, very minimal project management support team leads are responsible for everything there is no project management to interface with customers so it’s all on the guys in the field. Work life balance is non existent I’m on the road more than I’m home no pay to travel on travel days. They pinch Pennies and limit over time unless it’s direly needed for their bottom line. Not knowledgeable about what the feild techs do and aren’t willing to learn. Only care about production and getting their bonus. This is all directed at middle management the executives seem okay.

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.
