Pros

The company still is financially sound and still has a large market presence.

Cons

Too many acquisitions that fail. The company doesn't seem to know what to do with them except shut down facilities. High risk for you if HNI acquires your company. Two classes of employees; those in Muscatine who will keep their jobs if at all possible. If you're not in Muscatine, you are the first to go.

Pros

Nice place to work for interns. Plenty of opportunity to see entire operations within the company. Fun activities offered throughout the intern experience. Decent pay

Cons

Experience might not pull as much weight compared to working with other corporations. Matching projects with desired areas of work are lacking.
