Southern Company Environment Employee Reviews

All
Positive
Constructive

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Being being inclusive with the employee

Great place to work at

Family work environment and plenty of opportunities.

The culture is positive, respectful, one where I feel valued and cared for as an employee. I couldn't be happier.

Is just a work environment, with a friendly approach

Great leadership very competent leadership

Actively demonstrating a caring environment

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Employees need to work together more, but everyone is out for themself.

Make it obvious for people who are ambitious how they can move ahead and how they can succeed. Always just saying “talk to your manager” isn’t good enough.

The company is somewhat fairly reasonable true to promotions, although I could see an increase on job knowhow and experience for future job placements
