Pros

employee owned; do a lot for their employees in the way of rewards;

Cons

Southco uses people. If you aren't "one of the click" you will never survive. Management is all men. There are 34 salaried supervisors and managers and only one is a woman. Even from this man's point of view, you can see it. It's an "old boys world". So many have been there 20 - 30 yrs that a newby will never fit in. Even though I was there for many years, I was never one of them. The managers don't develop their people at all. Not one of them that I saw.

Pros

Everything, I'd say! I've been here just a few months but felt like I've known everyone forever since Day 1. Good pay, great benefits, great atmosphere.

Cons

Not a bad word to say about Southco. Still in my "honeymoon" phase, but most people there have been there 20 years+, that says a lot about a company.

Pros

Tuition assistance, great training, good benefits . Overall it is a great company to get started at

Cons

The pay isn't the best out there. The raises are a joke. The supervisor structure in the factory needs to be adjusted
