What is the best part of working at the company?
1) The pay's good, it's one of the best paying warehouses in the Dickson area. 
2) You get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute break, on occasion the company will celebrate safety and work performance's in which they grant you an hour long lunch break, they also buy food for all employees on these occasions. 
3) It's an organized warehouse, it's not perfect but it's a lot more organized than other warehouse's I've worked as a rack picker, every item has it's own location, nothing is hard to find but you will stumble upon item's placed in the wrong location but that doesn't happen consistently. 
4) The coworkers and everybody I worked with all worked as a team, you have a question or concerns? You'll get an answer. 
5) Now it is a warehouse, so you have to be strategic with your picks (if you're a picker) being strategic is how you get the ball rolling quickly and safely around the warehouse, there will be pressure placed upon you to get orders done but once you get the hang of it, the pressure is non existent because you've learned to work with it.
6) You'll be cross trained, so if you're on a order picker there will be times that you may have to get on a forklift, you can also volunteer to be trained on the switcher (yard truck) to move trailers around the yard, CDL's is not required for you to drive the yard truck, they'll train you on the spot if you wish, I didn't have my CDL license and the company knew that, so long as you don't drive off the yard or the premises.
7) The benefits package and 401k are great, no complaints on my end.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of the job is the pressure of getting all orders picked, pulled, packaged and shipped, there will be some long winded orders where you will have to build multiple pallets from one order, which can take up to 3 to 4 hours depending on the what's on the order and how strategic you are at picking, the stress goes up a little bit more if (you let it) it's a bulletproof order, which just means that you need to add extra packaging to the pallets so that way there's next to 0% chance the pallets will be damaged during transport but don't let the pressure/ stress overtake you because there will be plenty of times that orders will have to roll over to the next day because there's just too many orders, you're not going to be able to pick and pull everything. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Laid back and friendly, it's a hard working environment filled with hard workers that work as a team, communication is top notch from my experience. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pull up, walk in, say hi to everybody, clock in, pour a cup of coffee because it's free, sit down at the table in the break room and enjoy the coffee while we have our daily morning meeting and after that, I get my gear together, grab my radio and also my orders for the day or any orders that were rolled over, get on my man-up (order Picker) and start it up while goofing off with coworkers, boot up my computer and get that running, clip my orders on my clipboard still goofing off with my coworkers and get the day rolling all while goofing off with my coworkers on the radio throughout the day.

The good aspects are simple - no matter what department you're in, it's almost always very easy work for decent pay. 
The bad aspects far outweigh the good - HR is more like an assassin for the company than someone employees can go to for help. It used to be a great job that people never left, often retiring from there. The union has become useless and the company takes more and more at each contract. There was hope when AHF took over, because Armstrong Flooring's mismanagement was obvious. However, it didn't take long for reality to set it and for everyone to realize that things were getting even worse. I used to get so frustrated because the job was so easy and payed decent, but the toxic environment and stress overall just made it a miserable place to work. It wouldn't be a bad job for someone looking for something temporary, but if you want a future or career, I'd definitely advise you to look elsewhere.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing good to say except if you can put up with all the glaring things wrong, the pay is ok but you give up a lot for it!!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of the job is the management saying if you see a safety issue or you injure yourself immediately report it but when you do…even if it’s not your fault, you get written up and your job is on the line. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fear and intimidation, lots of favoritism, certain supervisors don’t do their job while the shift lead does everything, everyone hates their job and working there was miserable.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very loud and dangerous, work continuously for 12 hours with 4 ten minute breaks and half hour lunch unless you work 8 hours then you get one 10 minute break and a 20 minute lunch, go home and do it again.

Management is horrible will lie to you not give you any instructions instead expect you to just know what they want even if what they want done is outside of the normal they do not care about the customer or the employees product isn't to quality standard they just want you to just send it out anyway favoritism is extremely bad if you look good then you will do well in fact you won't have to do anything if you become a bosses factory wife 
Hr is just company protection like most companies they have taken all bonuses away and don't expect to get a raise the last raise I received was 1.5% that was two years ago and they have already said no raise this coming year it doesn't matter if you have seniority when it comes to job bidding it's all based on the who the boss likes even though they say it's seniority based  this company used to be good before we was bought out by a investment company's

Please stay away from this place. The pay is alright, and the job is fairly easy. There is little stress, but the management is terrible. My manager was absent my first two weeks there, I had zero training and there was no orientation to go over company guidelines. We had the internet go down for weeks which made the job difficult to accomplish. The manager there was in the middle of fixing the situation and left crying. Not really sure what she does all day but it does not contribute to the branches success. The main manager is a good guy but if I were in his shoes, I’d never let a manager leave work in the middle of a crisis. As a retail manager, I was astounded this was even allowed. 

The whole experience has been nothing but beneficial. The work is easy and helpful in learning how to do the job. Gives you opportunities to advance further in the company and the management is understanding and personal. The hardest part of the job is keeping the round table clear of the product. The table gets to be full of the product if there are not enough people to process it. The most enjoyable part of the job is not only the work but the people that you work with. You develop friendships with people who end up being in your life outside of work.

I love the work I do, and the contractors I work with. Unfortunately AHF products does not pay fairly for the hard work they are provided, even if you live in the area they need you and that area is the highest cost of living in the state, and much higher cost of  living than ANY other AHF locations. It shows they don't care if I can even make my bills or have to work 46 hours or two jobs just to get by. Obviously just extort people till they get tired of the disrespect and are willing to train a less experienced individual- it will definately be why they lose me. 

The management here is astoundingly awful. You will be constantly hunted for problems. Anything you say can and will be used against you in some fashion. Promotions are only given to friends of managers rather than by merit. Positions are eliminated with little notice. Your schedule is constantly changing on a day-by-day basis; sometimes hour-by-hour. Only good thing I can say about this place is the work is fairly easy and it pays well. But the awful culture and management hardly makes it worth your effort. Do not come here unless it is absolutely your last resort.

What is the best part of working at the company?
No drama on 3rd shift everyone's nice I've been there a little over 90 days and have already moved positions and got a 90 day raise! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Over night hours 9pm-530am is the only part that sucks but I get my kids off to bed and up for school so I dont miss time with them

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is clean for a flooring mill 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The days at work aren't terrible except when you don't sleep much you definitely need to

AHF formerly known as Armstrong, has great employees. We where a team especially second shift. Management will push you, but not beyond what you can't handle. They want numbers and in return will pay you very well. If you want job security, your out of luck. They will lay you off. Sometimes just a week and sometimes permanently. The company is bought and sold quite frequently. When you have the right owners we worked 6 days a week and had great benefits. Someone else owns them and it could be only 4 days a week with a week layoff per month. But overall I would recommend AHF strongly.
