Pros

Had good intentions. Great building. Nice products. Global.

Cons

The high level execs put in place 5-7 years ago are now reaping what they have sowed. Their poor managers (that they can control) are inept as they attempt to build/lead teams with little to no impact. When these execs retire, others will have to pick up the many pieces they have dismantled. No passion. No trust. Average to low average players here. Most of the good people have left and are looking to leave. After all, smart, ambitious people won't stay and report to fools. Is this karma?

Hello. As a values-based, global company, we strive to create a diverse and inclusive culture at Haworth. While the definition of diversity differs around the world, we put a great deal of effort into hiring talented individuals—regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and age. In the United States, we were recently audited by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. They carefully reviewed our hiring, promotion, and termination practices. This audit evaluated each location independently, so the demographics of our employees working in Mississippi did not influence the results of our audit in Michigan. After a thorough evaluation, the OFCCP determined that our employee population at each location properly represented the communities in which they reside. Regardless of this outcome, we recognize that improving diversity and creating an inclusive organization is an ongoing journey, and one we cannot make without valuable feedback from of our members. We encourage them to share ideas or concerns about how we can be more welcoming with their supervisor or HR representative. We hope you were able to discuss your thoughts directly with your supervisor.

Pros

Handful of good people left. Most were let go at or quit in the past year and a half. Those who remain have to walk on eggshells. Used to have unassigned individuals who didn’t have to sit at a desk and could choose where to work. They took that away.

Cons

Leaders. Bad leadership that micromanages and criticizes employees. It’s not our fault that we can’t do 3 jobs worth of work. High stress. Between cutting 25% of employees in 2020 and about 25% more leaving, there is way too much work. Anyone left is expected to pick up the slack and take on multiple jobs. They also don’t fill vacant jobs. Vacation. Average to low amount of vacation, and no sick days. You can buy a week of vacation, but you get paid less to cover it. Medical Center. Having a baby or an unexpected medical issue is a nightmare. The HR team does not handle any medical time off. Instead you have to work with a staff of a few nurses who don’t communicate with each other. Be prepared for multiple phone calls, emails, and certified letters sent via FedEx each month while on FMLA. Pay increases and promotions. No pay increase since Q1 2019. Promotions tend to be given to people outside of company. Working from home is discouraged even with high levels of illness in the area. I could go on…
