Pros

Great Southern Wood is a large company that operates with the agility and personal touch of a small business, and in the best possible way. The company has an impressive team of some of the most qualified and down-to-earth professionals in the industry. One of the most remarkable aspects of Great Southern is its culture. You can immediately tell that a great deal of effort and thought has been invested over many years to cultivate a culture of hard work, collaboration, and goodwill at the benefit of both customers and employees alike. One of the things that really sets the company apart is the strong sense of connectedness among employees. Despite Great Southern now operating 15+ facilities across the eastern half of the U.S., with just a little effort, you can form personal relationships with many dedicated, hard-working individuals who know you by name, not just as a number. This focus on personal relationships and investment in employee development is a key factor in why Great Southern Wood is not only highly respected but, with all sincerity, a world-class company. Great Southern Wood's YellaWood® brand has helped create countless 5-star backyards, and it has also created a 5-star workplace!

Cons

Great Southern Wood does many things right, so identifying cons is no easy task. However, one aspect that could be considered a con, depending on your perspective, is the company’s high expectation of a strong work ethic. If you’re not someone who consistently strives to put your best foot forward, provide outstanding service, and invest time and effort into building long-term relationships with customers, Great Southern Wood might not be the best fit for you. On the other hand, if you naturally find fulfillment in hard work and take pride in your accomplishments at the end of the day, you’ll likely thrive here without any concerns.
