Poor Work/Life Balance. My department intentionally runs short and works mandatory OT every single week. I've been there 3 months and they still come into the pre-shift meeting saying, "need 2 a day for off-days." Considering I worked at Shaw doing the same exact job on the same exact number of lines and never once heard Mandatory OT, it is getting a little old. People have lives. Always worrying if you are gonna be stuck with OT halfway through your last day is not a great feeling. Also, poor safety care. An aspirator jumped back and broke my nose. I had 2 plant nurses tell me it wasn't broken, on 3 different occasions. Day it happened, 2 days later, a week later. So, I never went to the doctor because I trusted 2 different nurses who have been doing it for 10-15+ years. Come to find out it was/is broken, after I went to the nurse a 4th time. She finally asked if I'd like to see a doctor. So now its been past the 14 day period for them to re-set it, and I'm just left with a banged up nose rest of my life. I went and saw a specialist for him to tell me he cant do anything, and I haven't heard anything from them since. So, I guess I'm just stuck with it. It makes me really want to quit but I need another job lined up before I quit. All they had to do was recommend X-rays, or at least not tell me it wasn't broken, and I could have had it fixed no problem and been ok. But they worried about a lost-time recordable instead of my well-being. So I can't get out of this place fast enough. What happens if I get hurt again or more serious? i mean having a broken nose is serious enough, but it had that feeling of keeping me from going to the doctor at all costs feel. So I personally cannot recommend working at Mohawk. Its not safe, they don't care about you, and they will use you up and leave you hung out to dry, like my nose. If I didn't think it would affect my standing at other companies in the same field(like Shaw), I'd get a lawyer. But, I'd like to work in the carpet industry and don't want a Worker's Comp court case affecting my other opportunities. I don't see myself being there much longer.

Pros

Mohawk takes pride in the safety of their employees over anything. They always ensure you have the proper PPE for any job you may be doing. Working for Mohawk ind. was a great opportunity and had really good pay. Though they pay you well they do expect you to put your best into every hour you work because without you their would be no production.

Cons

Working for a manufacturing plant it takes every single employees job to make sure you can run your job efficiently if you don’t have co-workers that are willing to do their part it makes for a harder night on you because not nonly do you have the task of your job you have to help them catch theirs up so yours can run that’s one of the biggest downfalls.
