I have worked there for going on 3 years now. I gained special training on a job with a foreign made machine that no one within my facility understands how to operate but my coworker an I. After the first year, and gaining knowledge on the job and being specially trained in areas not listed within the job description at first my coworker an I collectively felt we had earned a raise after creating excel spreadsheets, logbooks, tracking documentation from everything, and having responsibilities added to our job. We were denied. The second year, even more responsibilities were added to our job. We got everything mixed in with our routine at work and once again operated smoothly within no time. The third year, we had to take a manager/director to HR/corporate for compromising our safety on the job during a task. HR asked me to type up my expectations of management because we felt this individual had failed us. Nothing more than that happened. Afterwards our job description conveniently disappeared and was remade to fit the needs of this director/manager. 3 years on now, we've asked for another well deserved raise after busting our tail ends to make a statement an impress. 3 years in, an I'm looking for new work because managers at the facility are driving it into the ground and making everyones job harder on them. We're stretched thin as is. They want their production bonuses, and send poor quality out all the time to meet deadlines to get those bonuses, but won't split with a dime to give deserving operators a raise. The amount of reruns I've had to do because they approve bad quality is almost hysterical at this point. 

I work for this company for three years as a model employee. In the three years that I have worked at that company, I have witnessed some of the worst conditions I have ever experienced in working for any company in over 20 years. I have watch this company take advantage of their employees and show them no appreciation for the hard work they do. The wages in every department are far below industry standards. There are no set cost-of-living raises, it took them three years to given loyalty bonuses which is only a mere $500 annually. Which really means nothing when every position in the plant is under paid by at least three dollars or more. If you are a hard-working individual, and expect to be rewarded for your contributions to the company that you work for. Well this is not the company for you. Promotions in this company are not rewarded to the hard-working employees. There held and rewarded to the people who gain favor and friendship with management or has some type of relation to a member in management. This is no place for any hard-working individual with any sense of pride and morals to work.  This is just my opinion, don't sign up for a dead end job.

I agree with 3 of the 4 reviews written.  I have never worked for a company with a reputation this bad. Yes they fill positions, but for everyone person they hire, they will fire 2. since I 've been gone, I know they have let half a shift go. and some for crazy things. 90 percent of the supervisors all started from the bottom with the exception of a few let the jobs go to their head. the others came from mohawk.  If you are not friends of management, or if you didn't come from mohawk, then you have no chance for advancement. The human  resource department messes up peoples paper work and when we need the insurance we find out we have none. The people I worked with, I consider friends.  they are hard workers with little pay.  I've seen other company's pay at least 3.00 more on the hour for the same positions. It took them 3 years just to give one raise, at about 50-75 cents. I do know they give a bonus check once a year at 500 dollars but you have to wait untill the next quarter after you service date to get it and then they add it in with your paycheck and it amounts to nothing after they tax it to death.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The money, the people are horrible, the management at my specific plant was horrible. Extremely unprofessional. My supervisors sat in the office playing games on their phones the entire shift. They have favorites and if you aren't one of them you are disposable. If you are someone who just wants to come to work and do your job and go home, this is not the place for you. This is high school drama. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management is awful at the ED plant and HR is absolutely no help when you come to them. They are unorganized and can't keep anyone on task. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Dramatic and unorganized, it used to be very structured but now they don't even follow their own policies.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You get there clock in, report to your job and struggle until you go home. You work with a bunch of overgrown children.

This company taught me many valuable lessons not only about hard work but life. I took a scholarship and decided it was not the direction I wanted to go with my life. I wanted to focus on my career and my degree. Therefore when I came home it was too late to apply in to Dalton state so I had to wait until the next semester and my father put me to work. He did this to show me what the real world was like, and why education was so important. I worked there for several months and made great friends that taught me to do my job and do it for myself. It was a great place where I also learned how to do inventory, and count production. The hardest part was when they made me creel for the day, and I gained a new found respect for all people who work in the carpet industry.

Engineered floors hires just about anyone for their operator jobs and as long as you don't violate any of the more serious rules, you'll keep your job for as long as you want it. However, don't expect to be able to advance any further than mechanic. They do not hire from within for bigger promotions and unless you're friends with someone making salary, you won't climb the ladder. Raises are very very rare and there are no bonuses aside from 100 dollars on Christmas. You must work holidays if you're scheduled. You aren't allowed to leave the property for lunch or break. You can't even sit in your car. It's run more like a prison than a company. Overall, a miserable environment. I do not recommend working here if you have a desire to grow with a company.

Every Enginnered Floors plant is a little different, but this is my experience at the plant I worked at. I enjoyed working here at first, but you start to see what the culture is really like once you’re there for a while. Communication is terrible among co-workers. Management and employees that are favored by management make you feel excluded. I don’t feel like I’m part of their team. If you go to HR for any issues that you’re having or have noticed with the job, you’re seen as the bad person. This job culture sucks. There’s tension in the air for those that are excluded or not really given much care for, but for those that are part of the “clique” it’s perfect. kinda like high school, if you don’t kiss up to right people, you’re not gonna have a good time there.

What is the best part of working at the company?
pay was good, nothing else good to speak of

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lift trucks were junk, very dangerous to use, and job required using electric lift trucks between buildings, even in pouring rain!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very poor.  Workers with years of experience did not carry their weight, trainer only told you enough to barely do the job, expected you to automatically know their procedures.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
boring and frustrating as I was able to do more than the next guy who had been there THREE years, and no one every said a word to him about being lazy!!

There isn't a typical day. Things change daily. But, generally the job consists of pushing large rolls of backing off of the looms. Restart looms.Prepare rolls for shipping. Put in  inventory via computer. Place in trucks for shipping. Other duties are done as needed. Bale waste, take samples to lab ECT. Management: Some supervisors are better than others. Mine was dedicated, some others , just going though motions. Work culture: The blame game. Hardest part of the job: Pushing large rolls off the looms. Most enjoyable part: Being in control of my job area . What I've learned is the many different aspects of making carpet backing and the many types of people it takes to make them come together.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyone wants you to succeed and be a part of the team.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is losing team members that you rely on.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Happy, transparent as far as motives. Focus is usually on bringing new team members into a comfortable, safe and professional environment that rewards knowledge and hard work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day is everyone makes sure at the beginning of shift and several times during shift that everyone knows what they're doing and where they are supposed to be.
