Pros

Millken should be considered as a short term employment opportunity. Over the long term, the company demands a lot, but the rewards never make it back to the employees. If you try to believe in the company and expect to be rewarded, you will be bitterly disappointed.

Cons

Milliken & Co is privately owned by the 5th generation descendents of Seth Milliken who ran textile mills 150 years ago when child labor was common and workers were not much more than serfs. The textile mills are gone but the corporate culture has not changed in step with the rest of America. There is no transparency; the owners do not publish financial statements or any other reliable (verifiable) information about the company. Employee turnover from quits has always been high, running 20% for salaried employees and over 50% for some of the worst hourly occupations, and the Milliken owners clearly do not care about that glaring problem. For over 30 years now they have been casting about trying to figure out the future business of Milliken. I would warn young people away from working for the Millikens.
