Pros

HNI has several member companies that work toward a common goal. They treat their employees as members rather than a number and have great advancement opportunities within all available organizations, including 'outside' companies like Hearth & Home and Hickory Business Furniture.

Cons

While the overall company is solid, member companies seem to let batches of employees go every two to three years, even if things aren't going particularly badly. This can lead to damaged relationships and poorer morale, especially when the employees affected had no real reason to be selected other than being in the wrong position at the wrong time.

Great people but lack of guidance and vision

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.
