Milliken Reviews

Pros

The atmosphere is amazing at the Guest House, management is incredible, pay is great, and there’s yearly bonuses. Plus you have weekends off.

Cons

Sometimes when business is slow money can get tight.

Pros

You have the opportunity to learn a lot (whether you want to or not). The lean staffing model means that if one person calls out, another is pulled to perform that job. Effectively, you are cross-trained in many aspects of plant operations from Six Sigma to Safety Excellence. The skills you learn at Milliken are transferable and are desirable to other companies.

Cons

It's the "good ole' boys club." Pay is low, benefits are sub-par, at best. Excellent employees are leaving for better opportunities. Opportunities for advancement are limited to those in the "good ole' boy/girls club" and are many times done for optics. We continue to see Milliken named on the "best of" lists, but that does not translate into the day to day working environment.

Pros

I feel as though it was a challenging experience and there is always something to do. There is never a dull moment. You can learn a lot in a short span of time.

Cons

It can be stressful and I feel like there is no benefit to how much work you complete. It always felt like no matter how well I did, it didn't matter. If I were to complete 8/10 tasks I'd get reprimanded because all 10 weren't completed although I may have saved us from an utter failure.

Pros

Hardworking staff who will help when there are problems that need to be addressed. Some workers are willing to train others the right way. Good benefits.

Cons

Some managers are not professional and send employees to talk for them. Not enough money for the pay. Some workers wouldn’t do their job right. Some would sit and do nothing on the job. As a creeler, Ive seen that some people were fast at tying out items. However, sometimes their knots weren’t tied right and they wouldn’t go back to check their work. It would mess up the machines and cause more trouble for the machine operators.

Pros

It was pretty quick to move up in pay Was consistent work

Cons

Had to hide a lot of things that were done at the worksite to help keep other desperately needed employees from being fired, even if it meant that there were safety hazards or danger of physical altercations. Will fire you on a dime for unproven things if it meant they could keep more employees hired on. Not really a great place to make a career if you like to move up in your career. Mainly just a dead end position.

Pros

Constantly busy if we have a lot going on

Cons

Sometimes is slow on low orders

Pros

A great job for fresh college graduates.

Cons

Too much political backstabbing and lack of good culture. Pay is sub-par for the industry.

Pros

Because I need a job and willingly to work

Cons

I don’t have any challenges.

Pros

I don’t think there were

Cons

Management liked blaming subordinates for issues

Pros

Decent experience at the company

Cons

Lower pay than other companies
