Grand Rapids Chair Company

I love the culture here at Grand Rapids Chair. The people here genuinely care about your success within the company. I always am challenging myself throughout the workday. Grand Rapids Chair invests in their employees and gives them the training they need to succeed. Supportive and caring team members that always have your back.

They really recognize their employees when they go above & beyond.

Hired me to train on a cnc machine, which I told the manager interviewing me that I’d like to peruse that for a career and get out of general labor. Within 3 week I was only doing general labor and if I asked about it I was told “we just need the help”. If your company is understaffed pay the employees more when they do more don’t expect robots. I give this company 2 years before its turnover rate has doubled

it started as a small company and it started booming which is good job security but that was it you where to start at 4am and not leave until 4pm , management was poor the owner was there all the time he was nice but his son took over and you would not get promoted or promotion unless you had a bachelors degree or Caucasian.

Loved my coworkers, we had a great group. Watched the company let go of some wonderful long-term employees without giving them a second thought. It was extremely callous and morale really plummeted. Feeling like you could get the boot at any moment without warning. Left me with a sour taste and uneasiness that I really couldn't get past, and I left shortly after. 

The picture painted during the interview did not match reality when I started.  Withing a month red flags were going up everywhere I looked.  I found my entire tenure with the company to be exhausting and stressful.  Not many people can tell you how your job is supposed to be done but there is a line of people ready to berate you for doing your job wrong.  There is valuation of your opinions.

GRC is a solid company and has great employees with dedication and commitment to their individual positions.  The company has been growing exponentially and is becoming a leader in the hospitality furniture niche.

Good people. Wages could be better. They could do a better job of allowing workers to advance with In. Allow workers to get better education to grow with in the company and hire personal that have a better understanding of the operations that the will be in control of.

Good place to work. The people are great, both in leadership and coworkers. In my time there I saw lots of changes in a growing family business, some it to no fault of their own. Covid-19 created uncertainty about the future and I hope they can come back strong. 

Overall, I like the company and the people I work with.  The position isn't for me.  It is a stressful environment with a few co-workers and management that make the culture unappealing.  They genuinely care about the customers and employees, but it doesn't always show.  They are a work in progress.

I worked in the fabrication department for a short time but everyone from the bottom to the top was for lack of better terms awesome. Thanks for the wonderful experience and knowledge ✌️💖💪
