- Current Employee★★★★★
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.
