Pros

There are none. Do not work here

Cons

Like other reviews have said, this company is full of snakes. There are a few people that are cool but the majority of people that work here and trash. They will lie and set you up for failure all to make themselves look better. There is no structure to what you should be paid. Unlike the union, where there is a scale, Southport just pays people what they think they are worth. They also take into consideration the last job you worked at, regardless of relevance to hvac, and basically pay you that. Guys start out at $20-25/hr just cause that’s what they made working in a fulfillment center. Southport might be the worst company to work for. They do not value anyone other than those that suck up to them. Stay away

Pros

Fun work when you have things to do and the foreman is willing to show you, able to learn a lot with the right crew

Cons

Everyone is self centered, very unorganized, poor communication and if you aren’t an apprentice you will get treated like garbage

Pros

Very Casual Atmosphere with okay people

Cons

Leadership is lacking, no one gives direction until someome above them yells at them to. Definately not a team, more like a divided company who likes to point fingers at each other. No accountability and task are mundane. Havent learned anything since i started. If you suck up to management well enough you'll last a few months. Respect from managers and owners towards employees is very questionable at times. But if you say something they'll probably find a random excuse to fire you since field workers are expendable. So many new guys start during the busy times then are let go as soon as everything stops so not much long term outlook here. Company is not big enough to maintain a stable field force. They preach about supporting employees but what they mean is only the ones they like. In order to move up from your current position you have to be reccommended which seems completely flawed.
