Company that values its employees. An increasingly maturing IT shop.

Pros

The transportation industry is probably not the first thing you think of when you think about technology, but Southeastern is on the leading edge of technology in our industry. The trajectory of the use of technology is decidedly upward, and in my opinion, Southeastern is one of the better Java shops in Columbia. As a mid-sized, privately owned company, you will get a fairly wide range of experience. Solid company culture of doing quality work and valuing people, which the company stands by. Better benefits package than most IT shops in town. Fair salary structure. Family feel to the work environment.

Cons

Every job is what you make of it. If you work here and don't really have a desire to grow professionally, you can do that. If you have a desire to learn and improve yourself and the company, you can do that too. The company is over 50 years old, so it still makes use of a lot of older technology. There is a fair amount of COBOL development, so if that's your thing, then go for it; but if you want to do java / web development, make sure you know what the job description is before accepting.
