      I have been working at Leggett & Platt full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Night shifts are usually laid back, but still fairly productive. Also plenty of liberal allowences for personal projects, and interdepartmental training.

      Cons

      General disgruntled mood toward the company, and animosity toward other shifts on all crews. Little qualification required, and slim chance of consentual career advancement. Medium to low wages.

      Advice to Management

      Crack down on poor atitudes and toxic lower management, also encourage a more fair distribution of labor / production requirements between shifts and departments.

      Great pay and great benefit. Management allows a verify flexible schedule. Very supportive with family. Many different activities in our branch such as golf, dodgeball, barbque, etc. Excellent Chistmas party. We have a lot of fun.

      Air conditioning in some parts of the plant.

      We have great supportive leaders and managers. They try to do their best to do the right thing. I really appreciate what you do for your people.

      Pros

      Got plenty of overtime. Sometimes more than I wanted.

      Cons

      Worked here a long time. Worked my way up and down and up again. New managers always meant some of us got booted down to make room for their own people. When they decided to close the plant we were all offered a decent severance package. When they decided they wanted to keep some of us for a new company they cut our pay and took the severance offer away.

      Advice to Management

      Management at the upper levels need to look at how people are being kicked around at the lower levels and ask themselves if they would want to be treated that way.

      Pros

      If one is looking for a stable job, with decent health insurance and want to live in the ozarks, Leggett & Platt is the company for you.

      Cons

      Don't expect any career growth in the company unless you are a legacy - Carthage boy/girl or son/daughter/partner of senior management or buddies with higher management. Don't get any recognition, even if you've saved the company millions of dollars.

      Advice to Management

      Recognize talent and offer them opportunities to grow. Pay decent wages (market average at the very minimum). Improve workplace culture. Organize activities at all branches instead of just the corporate HQ.

      Pros

      Great benefits and good people. Upper management can be poor in some groups. Family oriented for salary employees, less so for hourly employees.

      Cons

      Still very much a good ole boys network, especially for upper managers. If you’re not a ‘name’ in Carthage, you won’t go too far.

      Good people to work with, pay scale is pretty good, lots of opportunities for advancement ,overtime pay, incentives,and,very safe and clean environment to work in.

      Cons

      Very poor management skills, which mean very poor supervisory skills also, management seams to always want you to do more than just your job,they are also on a points system, very bad one at that.
