fast pace, productive
Manufacturing Associate (Former Employee), Spring Lake, MI – January 2, 2013
Pros: fooseball table in the lunch room, great team, laid back.
Cons: can be repetitive, 3rd shift
Working on an assembly line with anywhere from 2-8 people which we rotate positions every hour. Fast pace, repetitive work with a great team to work with. I learned how to assemble office furniture and cubicle walls. Managers are strict where it is needed, if you are a hard working line they tend to not give you a hard time. I worked 8-10 hrs/day 5 – more... days/week. each day consists of two 20 minute breaks. Also learned how to run the assembly line which I would say was the hardest part of the job. That job consisted of retrieving the parts that was on the schedule for that day, organizing how it will go down the line, labeling the parts and making boxes all at a fast pace so the line does not run out of work. I really enjoyed all of the people I work with. It was very laid back and we all worked really well together. My one complaint would be that they revolve their holidays off around 1st/2nd shift and sometimes forget about 3rd so our date that we would have off would end up being the day before the holiday, not the actual holiday and we would have to come in the night of. Our hours there are 1st shift 6am-2pm, 2nd shift 2pm-10pm, and 3rd shift 10pm-6am. – less

Strong coworker environment.
Material Handler (Current Employee), Zeeland, MI – September 4, 2012
Pros: friendly environment
Cons: warm work conditions and physical work.
A typical day at Herman Miller consisted of supplying the Intent line (router) with melamine blanks in sequence corresponding to the line schedule. I learned quite a bit in my short time there about furniture manufacturing. My co-workers in general were friendly and helpful. The hardest part of my employment was the physical labor of moving melamine – more... blanks into sequence. – less
