Pros

Lots of different projects to work on and the amount of work is generally very consistent. You can make some money if you can do low end tract work efficiently. Plenty of nice people to work with that know what they are doing.

Cons

Pay is lousy for any guy with any experience. Tract/production work can pay much better than the high end market and there is no incentive to want to really bust your hump. The company doesn't appreciate the craftsman anymore, which is ironic, because that's what they try to sell.....

Southern Staircase Response
10y
We appreciate your feedback and the time that you took to write a review on your experience with our company. It’s good to hear that you enjoyed the variety of projects that you were involved with as well as the positive culture of the company and its employees. As for your concerns regarding pay, our In-House Installation Program was developed in conjunction with our employees to compensate the individual based on the amount of work that they produce. In addition to the base pay structure & bonus incentive we also offer company vehicles, tools and a competitive benefits program. While we feel that we truly have some of the finest carpenters in the industry, many who have been with us for 10+ years, we acknowledge that it is our responsibility to develop the craftsman of the future. To that end we are adding a full-time trainer to the Installation department to ensure that our workforce receives the individual training necessary for long-term professional growth. Thank you again for your comments. Southern Staircase HR Department

Pros

There are a lot of positives working for the management team at Southern Staircase. We have a laid back work environment and we are given the ability to accomplish our stated goals without micromanagement. Job advancement is very important at Southern Staircase, I started working in inside sales 17 years ago and within 90 days I was an outside sales rep. I've worked in field ops, management and sales at Southern and would recommend Southern Staircase to anyone that I know.

Cons

It can be a very face paced work environment but if you thrive on the speed it can make it a fun place to work. During the late summer and early fall (out busy times of the year) we produce a large quantity of work and It can be stressful.

Pros

Good job if they paid better, the truck driver and warehouse guy was great to me.

Cons

Horrible Operation manager, multiple things but the main thing that bothered me was that he never even came out of his office to introduce himself.
