Pros
Support- I've been in the workforce to include military and civilian, for over forty years and SoBran has by far been the most supportive employer I've had. They don't simply pay you to come to work, they care about you. They care if you are sick, they care if you have a family emergency, and they care about your feedback. If you are looking for a company that "has your back", this is the one. No micro-managing. My Program Manager and SoBran leadership trust in my abilities to manage my crew but are right there if I need assistance or advice. Safety is number one. Quality safety shoes and safety gear provided. It isn't required to provide it, they want their employees to be as safe as possible. Not only do they possess a commitment to their employees and to community, they encourage employees to get involved. They support employee recognition, not only with Helping Hands, Employee of the Month, On-The-Spot Awards, company events, but the leadership doesn't paint a line between them and the employees....we are one team, one family. Integrity, service, and excellence are SoBran's values, and I see it everyday I'm Blessed to be a part of it.
Cons
As it is with all contractor work, you must rely on your contract being renewed. Thankfully, where I've been, SoBran has made it possible to have a crew of happy, content people which has made our performance shine to the hiring organization. Hopefully that plays a part when it's time to renew.
