Pros

work-life balance, opportunity to change roles within the corporate structure, multiple operating companies with various product lines

Located in Muscatine, IA. The organization as a whole does not prioritize innovation in their strategic planning (though some of its subsidiaries place a larger focus on innovation, it is not a primary component of the culture at HNI).
