Pros
The pros? There is plenty of work. It doesn't matter if you want production, high end residential, or commercial....it's all there. There are a few people that really care.
Cons
Where do I start? Most management is poor, at best. They will sell you on the 35$ an hour, but there are too many factors, problems, and issues that will preclude you from making that. If you have any experience at all, you'll be on jobs that are challenging, but not make as much money as production jobs. Experience does not pay at Southern Staircase, period. Promises will be made and never fulfilled. There is little room for advancement unless you're part of the "inner circle". I've seen plenty of talented and experienced people leave because there wasn't any room to learn/advance. Southern is great at manipulating numbers and absolutely reprehensible at managing employees.
