HAWORTH Employer Reviews

I learned several different jobs at Haworth, but my favorite was in the Service Parts and Modesty Panels departments. I worked in service parts for about 2 years, before becoming Production Coordinator over both departments. I was very good at my job. The previous coordinator had taught me everything that he knew in the ten years that he was there. – more... I was able to take over where he left off with no problems, and no other coordinator in the plant knew the job that we did. In a typical day in service parts, I turned everything on that needed to be turned on for the day, and then I would print out a list of orders going out two or three days. The orders that were due that day were called MID orders, and those had to be shipped out before the end of the day. After I printed out the orders, I would look up any kits/parts that I didn't know, or make sure I had all of the parts that I needed for all of my orders. If I didn't, I found out why or where the part was, and did everything I could to make sure that I had it before the end of the day. After I made sure I had everything that I needed, I started gathering it from all over the plant (some parts were in Press and Fab, others in assembly, etc.). I had a cart that I wheeled around the plant with me to get what I needed. After I had it all, I started boxing them up according to the orders that I had printed that morning. I kept working on these orders until I had them complete, or until the last hour or so of the day. At this point, I had to allocate the parts to pallets and wrap them in shrink wrap and then drive them to the loading dock with the hi-lo. After I finished that, I cleaned up my work station, restocked what I could, and shut everything down for the night. This was my favorite position at Haworth, besides being Production Coordinator for this area. – less

Management and scheduling is unorganized and unortohdox.

They "pretend" to know lean techeniques What a laugh!!!

Multiple jobs multiple times a day; There was always a new project and new thing to do; I learned alot and worked with good people

Line Assembly building 4 different types of Office Chairs on a daily basis.

I learned what a draw is. Hardest part of the job was organizing all invoices and updating tracking sheets. Most enjoyable part of the job was sending out checks to subcontractors.

The best part of the job is nothing.
the Hours suck. People dont know what they are doing.

no one is going to get hired in pretty much a waste of time they tell you a position is available to bid on but then they will take it down once everyone has bid on it and no one gets the job

I was a muti-tasks person,coordinating and working with other department supervisors and team leaders,work well with others enjoyed my resposibilities,and i take pride in my work

Worked on contract and had it extended. There was a hiring freeze on so permenant hire wasn't going to happen.

leaned how to operate a order picker as a Temporary employee with Adia temp service

Came in got things turned on and ready for everyone to come in and start working. I learned something new often. The management was good, I love the co-workers. Hardest part was making sure everyone kept up. The most part I enjoyed was when the day was over.

Poor communication, poor management, everchanging hours, mandatory o.t. with no notice. Poor job training, ineffective supervision/management.

Great company 20 years ago. The last 10 years was all about only making money. Hostile work environment. No advancement. They expect the hard workers to pick up the slack of the lazy ones.

i started early morning and we would do exercises before we started work which helped out. We assembled chair parts and inspected our pieces. Co-workers were really nice people to be around. I enjoyed the fast paced environment. The hardest part of the job was the long hrs.

You will learn new position and skills. You will be able to cross-train and that will increase your job sercure. Offers 401K and other different benifits.

Nice place to work. Great people nice time. quailty work is fun and likable.

assembled parts according to orders. assisted in setting up line and helping co workers meet the goals of the day.

I worked there for 8 years and was terminated after an incident that I didn't do. Management believed a temporary member that was only there for one month over myself who was there for over 8 years. Never felt safe in my job and always had to watch over my shoulder. Worked hard for this company and was very loyal but was forced out like yesterdays trash. – more... Would never go back even if I could. – less

was a fast paced company that offered challenging projects on a day to day basis

Worked in the piecework area (sewing), then was able to move to the Shipping/Receiving department the latter part of my employment. Being a pieceworker, quality and attention to details were very important. Enjoyed being able to produce quality work with alloted time. When I worked in the shipping/receiving department, being able to complete an invoice – more... correctly and in a timely manner was also a reward. – less
