From a Long Time Employees Perspective
Pros
Southern Staircase is a great company with constant growth potential for employees who want to grow, change, and have a career in construction. Southern Staircase has a continuous improvement mentality, and has been able to effectively adjust their business plan as needed for economic, customer driven, and employee driven changes. I am a classic example of someone who started with an entry level position in manufacturing and worked my way in to management. Southern Staircase worked with me to develop my trade skill set along with my people and organization skills. There is no such thing as a perfect job, and even the job you think would be perfect probably has some negatives. For me the positives of Southern Staircase far out weigh the negatives.
Cons
Sometimes we grow faster than we can manage, but that is a side effect of our industry. Over the years I believe that we have done a better job at managing the growing pains. Currently we are struggling to find younger entry level talent that want to learn carpentry, and do hands on work. We are combating that with our in house training program, and reaching out to some of the high schools and Tech Colleges in the region who still offer carpentry classes.
