    Thank you for your review and feedback! We are glad you are experiencing many of the benefits and People First focus areas. Over the last few years, Southland has made it a priority to enhance our focus on well-being and the health and safety of the whole person. I also appreciate your advice on tuition reimbursement -- this is currently a benefit we offer for job-related degrees, courses, training, etc. I would encourage you to speak to your local HRBP about what might be available in your current career. -- Wendy Montgomery, Director of Talent Management

    Toxic Work Culture

    Sep 2, 2022 - Detailer in Garden Grove, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Co-workers are about the only thing that make working at Southland enjoyable.

    Cons

    Upper management lacks taking responsibility for any shortcomings and instead place the blame on employees. Most notably the current Operations Team who spend half the day shooting the Nerf Gun at employees. Upper Management likes to make everyone feel like their job is not secure. One of the Project Executives will walk around calling out employees about how much money they are costing the company or how much time they are wasting. Also if you are coming into the Detailing Department get ready to be micromanaged. Management will literally make sure they squeeze every minute out of you and will also follow you wherever you go to ensure you are not taking too long. For example, going to the bathroom, going into the breakroom for coffee, break time, lunch, etc. Southland has also had a number of Write-downs(lost money on jobs) recently and Upper Management seems to not know how this happened. Maybe if they actually got involved during early stages of a project they wouldn't be incurring the losses they are currently experiencing.

    Southland Industries Response

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us on Glassdoor. It is encouraging to hear that you enjoy working with your co-workers. At Southland Industries, we value People so much that it is our first core value! Enjoying the people you work with is just one of the things that makes Southland a great place to work. However, it is unfortunate to hear of your experience with upper management. At Southland we work very hard at fostering a culture of accountability, which is also a core value. We appreciate all the efforts of our people and the work they dedicate to making Southland a great place to work. We expect all our employees to model Southland's core values and treat each other with respect. If you are a current employee, I encourage you to share your experiences with our local HR Business Partner or myself, so that any concerns can be fully heard and addressed as necessary. - Joe Cvetas, EVP, Division Leader, Southern California
