Pros of working at SOUTHWICK & MEISTER

Nothing unless you like your thoughts not being heard.

Cons of working at SOUTHWICK & MEISTER

The "president" is nothing but a puppet to the tyrant that really runs the company which is the "consultant". The consultant is the one who really has been running the company and has done nothing but make people leave and who's ignorant and selfish decisions will be the end of this company. Terrible and not an ounce of organization but they do a great job at getting you your collets 3 to 4 weeks late.

SOUTHWICK & MEISTER benefits

The benefit to leave and not come back.

Pros of working at SOUTHWICK & MEISTER

Absolutely nothing.

Cons of working at SOUTHWICK & MEISTER

Southwick and Meister overworks and underpays most employees. They hire people off the street with less experience for more money then employees that have been there for years. They bully, allow filthy sexual language, allow employees to harass other employees and don't do anything about employees drinking and smoking marijuana at break time. I have witnessed all of these things.

SOUTHWICK & MEISTER benefits

Their profit sharing pays so little that after 8 years I only had $2,000.
