Pros

Some hard working, really wonderful people in this company. Had good relationships with almost all of the management staff and VP's, EVP's. Many of them care a lot about their teams and their jobs.

Cons

CEO (who is part of Kyocera Corp who purchased SouthernCarlson in 2019) doesnt understand American business or the building materials industry. He is outdated and those who report to him are discouraged. Salaries and benefits are behind the market. Benefits are average at best. There doesnt seem to be a lot of care for work life balance or attracting and retaining employees from the CEO. 2 CFO's left and several other senior staff left in less than a year. The fron line people do not get recognized for their contributions.
