HNI Reviews

Former Employee – worked at HNI

Pros – Good company to work for

Cons – Lots of constant changes happening

Former Employee – worked at HNI for more than 8 years

Pros – The company still is financially sound and still has a large market presence.

Cons – Too many acquisitions that fail. The company doesn't seem to know what to do with them except shut down facilities. High risk for you if HNI acquires your company. Two classes of employees; those in Muscatine who will keep their jobs if at all possible. If you're not in Muscatine, you are the first to go.

Advice to Senior Management – You need an actionable vision, not just general platitudes. Overhead costs are killing you; too many VP's and empires inside the company.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at HNI full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – I've been here for 14 years and it's close to home

Cons – They are out sourcing their software development. I'm a software developer.

Advice to Senior Management – Care about your employees more.
