Once a good company that change dramatically as economic conditions worsened and Berkshire Hathaway pressure increased. - Anonymous employee Shaw Industries Employee Review

Nepotism/cronyism/politics run amuck. You better be a "yes" man/woman. Upper managers make decisions strictly based on perceptions and not reality. The truth is viewed as "excuses" with most of the uninformed upper management. Extremely top heavy. The company will cut labor/cost to the bone at the plant (manufacturing) level, but retain and add less effective support staff at the corporate level. Middle/upper management become too involved in the decision making at plant level preventing dept. managers from effectively doing their jobs. Too many masters to serve.
