Shaw Industries Employer Reviews

PM's, and repair broken equipment great co- workers, management is poor, with a high turn over of management, keeping everyone happy when i got off

When I worked at shaw it was an over good experience. I enjoyed the work and the people I worked with

Ok place to work there are NO benefits most of the people at this plant had been there for many years without keeping up with skill levels which caused major electrical problems that needed to be fixed at a huge dollar amount they also put most of the work on the more skilled people while other did virtually nothing instead of making everybody have – more...  same skill levels which is how they are to base pay grades this problem was always talked about but never seemed to actually get addressed in real life which cause a couple people to have no outside life due to carring the work load for the rest – less

a great place to work. delveried freight to costumers. worked 10-12 hours a day.

Going "downhill", no job security!! Am presently at Green Bay Packaging, Linerboard production as a Process Control Engineer at $85,000 per annum plus bonus.

By far the worst place I've ever worked. They would lie to their employees. They don't know anything about the lumber nor hardwood floors. Which makes it harder for everyone to work together that was once all family before buying the old company out. The stress level is very high. So high one fellow worker and friend passed away by heart attack because – more...  of lack of help for the required job. A typical day at work was okay physically, but mentally exhasusting. I learned not to ever go back there. Co workers were once family, and now enemies. Hardest part of the job was wanting to go to work. Most enjoyable part of the job was finding another job. – less

I did enjoy the on the job training that I got and I really hate when they relocated

Find out what the last shift mechanic left for me to do because they would always put their work on to the next person. I learned how to work on equipment that uses hydraulics and pneumatics as a means of runability. The management was terrible and would tell a lie about something they were unsure about. A slim few of my co-workers were okay but the – more...  vast majority were kissing the supervisor's rear. The hardest part of my job was tearing down a machine and not having the identical part to go back on instead having to use a part that was made inside the plant that never fitted properly. I like the 7 days off – less

A typical day at Shaw is steady. Never a dull moment. I work well along with my co-workers. The hardest part of the job is the 12 long hours. I most enjoyed my days off.

managed key accounts while researching for new prospects. Placed orders for customers. Managed the Caribbean Islands markets by telephone sales and traveling to individual Islands. I learned that working for a large distributor that is well managed is enjoyable experience. The most enjoyable time are when large orders are placed, delivered and paid – more...  in full. – less

hot enviroment, strict rules,no vacations or christmas gift

I worked for Shaw for over 10 years and it was a great company to work for. Compared to similar companies that don't care about their employees, those companies only care about production. Shaw is always thinking about what they can do better for the company and the employees. Shaw cares about the employees and that makes a difference

A typical work day at Shaw was exciting and i learned something new everyday. I learned how to weigh dye for the carpet, I learned how to scan tickets and enter them in the computer and i learned how to drive a forklift to load and unload trucks. The management at Shaw was great and my co-workers were friendly and helpful. The most enjoyable part of – more...  the day was going to work to learn a new task. – less

Manage 300 workers on a daily basis with 3 key component areas. Great management staff that pushes the employees to want to excel in every thing that they do.
Toughest part of the job is to plan for the unexpected, since we are a customer driven business.
Best part of the job is to be given the latitude to think outside the box in delivering the best – more...  quality product on a moments notice. There is never a dull moment. – less

Typical carpet manufacturing facility. Very first managerial position and was able to attain the most productive shift on both shifts I managed.

I loved working for shaw, Advancement and benefits are great! I loved that I was able to stay busy and get overtime. Great people and teamplayers

Shaw was an amazing place to work. Great environment. Shaw's the kind of place you feel like you are with family and you feel equal to and welcome to talk with any level of management. They never expect you to work without compensation, in fact, they balk at the concept and insist it be recorded if you put in overtime.

i loved my job at shaw, and enjoyed the people that i worked with,job went from 3- 12 hour shifts, to 7- 8 hour shifts, i hated to leave, but couldnt travel that far to work everyday.

watch carpet, inspected carpet and sew flaws, keep work area clean and safe,

Shaw Industries, was and still is a company that cares for it's employee's and customer's. Shaw is a very productive company, that is adamant about, keeping their employee's employed and their customer's with quality yarn. My eight years at Shaw, were a learning experience for me. I got to move up with the company, I could take classes if I chose to. – more...  If you didn't have a high school diploma, at Shaw you were given the chance to get your, GED. – less
