Do NOT quit your job!!

Skilled trades team leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The offer was excellent, and convinced me to put notice at my job.

Cons

I quit my job that I made 24$ an hr at, and was offered a job at HNI, but the background check had one hiccup from 6 years ago, is why they rescinded the offer. My family member who has been to prison, and has recent felonies is currently employed at HNI is employedas a skilled trades employee. So for Christmas I get to tell my wife I have no job. People are not their mistakes, and this has caused some serious hardship in my household.

Great people but lack of guidance and vision

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people you work with is great The benefits are great Not a micromanagement culture

Cons

A lot of politics get in the way of good work, compromise sharing of the company vision and undermine people morale. Projects are usually done in the way that people with best politics decide instead of best way, technology for the company. And with that opportunities for grow are limited.

Job can be stressful depending on Department

Financial analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are what make HNI Corporation a good place to work. The small town feel makes the people closer.

Cons

Leadership tends to overwork their employees, depending on the department. It almost de-incentives an analyst-level employee because you can see how much work is required to reach management level.
