Pros

Once upon a time it was was a good place to work. Good employees, friendly environment, good salaries, perks. yet, Southwire has a good reputation and skills that you can learn here are great. But learn them and take them to another company who treats you with respect.

Cons

Each regime started with the same “change is good” tediuos slogan to screw things up more. The only thing matters, is the numbers not people. Employees are forced to resign or fired every day and once the company has made the decision that you need to go, there is nothing you can do to change their mind. Remaining just waiting for an opportunity to quit for a better life. For the past few years, just a toxic workplace with total lack of leadership. Biased HR, untalented management, too many office politics, favoritism, nepotism, undeserved promotions,....... Morale at its lowest but lies, gossiping, back stabbing and ugly competition at its highest level. People are more likely to blame others instead of assisting them. It is a common practice, whenever someone makes a mistake it is being spread to the entire company as a lesson. Some cheat to damage other’s reputation, lie of omission to withhold relevant information, misrepresent on accomplishments to make themselves look better at expense of others.

Pros

Focus on giving back to communities. Environmental stewardship.

Cons

Top brass across all functions and corporately are delusional and myopic. Southwire likes to talk about taking a “OneSouthwire” approach but that is a false narrative inside the organization. There is no set of guiding principles in place to help with decisions. Rather, it is highly fragmented with most processes and has a highly political / growing cutthroat environment. I would only recommend working here to my biggest enemies.
