Pros

Great company for work life balance, and this company invest in you. They really help you grow! Job security was a benifit as well. They don't really fire people. Even if they want to fire you, they generally will not if you make a big enough protest.

Cons

They cover their path to advancment in a coat of meritcracy, but in reality they promote based on nepotism.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are pleased to hear you had a positive experience during your time at Shaw and appreciate your constructive feedback. We put a lot of thought into every decision (hiring, promotion, enacting a procedure, etc.) we make, even if the choices or reasons behind them aren't obvious. One of the reasons our HR and talent acquisition associates are so involved on a day-to-day basis is so they can have a thorough understanding of the talent we have (or need to recruit) to place the right candidates in the right jobs at the right times. Again, thank you! We wish you all the best!

20 Year Anniversary

Pros

I have just celebrated my 20th Anniversary with Shaw Industries. In my time with the organization I have found that Shaw values thier people, they invest in our development and provide growth opportunities. It is a large organization but the culture is more like a small family business. It's a great place to work

Cons

Slow to change with limited growth opportunities in current role.

Congratulations on your anniversary! It means so much to hear you're happy with your experience, and we're certainly glad to have you onboard! As a trainer, your work is crucial to advancing our associates and the organization, so thank you for all that you do. This is a huge milestone, and while we hope you'll celebrate it, it's also a great opportunity to sit down with your manager and discuss what kinds of growth opportunities lie ahead for you. We want to enable you to explore and pursue your passions, so we hope you'll reach out to your manager and get the conversation started. Again, thanks and congratulations!

Pros

Well, all I can say is that this place at least provides a paycheck.

Cons

Promotions based on who you know, and very poor health insurance. Management focusing too much time on numbers.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the effort you put into giving us this constructive criticism because it gives us the opportunity to improve. Our associates are our greatest asset, so I'm disappointed to hear you feel undervalued. Associates are so important that they are mentioned in both our mission and our vision, which I hope you'll take the time to review. We aim to reward our employees for their dedication in a variety of ways, but especially through their benefits. If you are open to it, I'd like to discuss your concerns with your health insurance and help you get the most out of it. When we hire or promote, we aim to be fair in every decision we make because it’s simply the right thing to do. We do our best to fairly match the strengths of the candidates with the needs of the business in all circumstances. Thank you, -Deane Osner Talent Acquisition deane.osner@shawinc.com
