Herman Miller – “A strong Company in a weak economy.”
Pros
People are treated with respect, and dignity. The present times that we are looking at leads to a great sense of teamwork and pride in the job well done. When the economy turns around We as a company will be in great financial shape and still have that sense of pride and determination to satisfy our customers with whatever it takes.
Safety and Quality are our number one priority, while being a key player in the office furniture industry.
We are ISO registered for quality and environmental, While also participating in State programs for safety.
All of this leads to a great working family.
Cons
More overtime than you know what to do with, management doesn't like to give credit where credit is due.
If you have an idea that achieves a particular goal, management treats you like its part of the job and most of the time a thank you is not even considered. Career advancement is an actual problem because Middle Management gets good people in the positions that they want them in and you kinda get "stuck".
Communications are on a once a month basis With Middle management , and once a quarter with someone in a Senior management position. These comunications relate to little more than Management speak for "we are in good shape".
Advice to Senior Management
Great job on guideing this company through a very rough economy, and setting us up for success in the future.
