American Woodmark reviews

All of the above positives are in the past tense. Much has changed since the RSI/AWC merger and acquisitions. The previous CEO was forced out under not the best of circumstances, and the corporate values and culture he championed are now just verbal platitudes as day-to-day operational decisions are not in line with them. Employees are espoused as one of the company's core values. However, decisions regarding the hiring of hourly workers have been made based on financial expediency and limiting the company's liability, resulting in poor quality hourly workers with above average levels of disciplinary problems, unreliability, total job apathy, and a high turnover rate. Production quality and efficiency also suffer. High performing salary employees have not been supported and promoted, but several instances of nepotistic hiring of supervisors/managers are causing these employees to slowly leave as they see their department mismanaged.

There is no follow through with the management and plenty of empty promises. Management does not make a floor presence and seems to give little to no effort to making improvements to day to day operations or even long term issues and solutions. When trying to work with them or go above and beyond to help solve issues and even give good solid solutions they are ignored or cast to the side. Benefits have gotten more expensive and worse as the company has decided to put less into this. And the simple day to day things that they used to do to make the culture better have stopped happening. Years ago this was a great place to work but until the management has been cleaned out and replaced with one's that care and have a simple knowledge of what they are doing and the process I would not recommend this place.
