Pros

Nice recruiters, and pretty building.

Cons

In Information Technology, Haworth has a terrible track record of recruiting outside IT talent with glittering promises, and then working them to the bone. This is by far the worst, most dysfunctional IT job I have ever had. During the time that I was there, EVERY external IT employee that had been hired during the past 3 years quit. All of them. It’s a damning, contemptible record.

Private Company - Family Leadership - Strong People

Pros

Family leadership and strong involvement is crucial for future success Great people, strong relationships Many long time Members keep culture going despite dis functional executive team Great Benefits and Great Pay (at least when bonuses are paid)

Cons

Bull pen atmosphere destroys productivity - you find people hiding out in private areas all over the building - or simply not coming to the office. Disheartening to walk customers through the building and see hundreds of empty work spaces people have just abandoned. In spite of Strong Family Involvement, inconsistent and inexperienced Executive Team only provides lip service to Values. Great at articulating them, poor at using them in daily decision making and communications. If you are good, prepare for a deluge of work. Success is rewarded with more work, while your slacker colleagues will wake up and go home at 4:00 (or simply "work from home" where they can do laundry, save on child care expenses, keep up their Linkedin and Facebook profiles, and keep the dog company).

Pros

Treat their employees like adults. No micromanaging of my position. Family based, private corporation with worldwide reach.

Cons

No private office to work in which takes an adjustment.
