HM Richards

In a typical day of work you start working from 7am to 4:30pm Monday through Thursday and Friday from 7am to 11am you will have not getting any training at all you just ask anyone to help you, nobody cares about you only if you finished your work. Once you’re there and you decide to climb the ladder the first thing is your supervisor will block any effort of getting out of there teams and there preferred to let you go. In rare instances they will let you climb if you know someone from the main office. There’s no fairness in getting a hire position like a supervisor and most of the supervisors they act like they own you. Don’t expect to grow in this company most likely you are going to stay in the same position for a long time. The 401k sucks and the dental insurance it’s horrible. 

I joined HM Richards approximately 8 years ago.  They are a furniture manufacturer with accounts across the United States and Canada, with annual sales of $50 million dollars.  I managed the office for 3 sales representative.  My tasks were to answer the phones, attend 4 yearly furniture markets, create presentations for the accounts and communicate with the accounts any shipping or fabric issues. I also create individual newsletters for each account for the accounts training to distribute in the field  I also worked with the accounts on resolving any damage or defective product issues.  My position is being eliminated in a few weeks, forcing me to obtain a new position.  The position did not offer any compensation or benefits.
A very flexible and relaxed atmosphere.
I have always worked in retail therefore have many years of customer service.
I do have letters of recomendation that will be provided upon request.

a typical day at work most of the time was smooth sailing as long as everyone worked together. and most of the time they did. I like the pipeline that we built furniture on and the way we work 9 hours a day mon. thru thur. and 4 hours on Friday. our incentive was when we get done with our schedule we could ride the clock for the rest of the day and get our hours or we could clock out when we get done and go home. that way the harder you work the quicker you can get home to do whatever it is that you got to do.f

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Great place to work just go n do u job and go from there

Can be a great place to work. Loved my coworkers. Job was easy and I loved it. New supervisor sucked which took the joy out of the job. The company never makes you feel like you’re unseen; you feel like you’re a part of something bigger. CEO is wonderful and treats his employees like family members. COO on the other hand has much to be desired. Do your job, come to work on time and stay out of factory drama and you’re good to go. The money is good. 

A typical day at work was supplying the production lines (very brief description). Its very fast paced even though it requires a forklift or pallet jack that goes maybe 2-3 mph. There's a lot of diplomacy involved with the showwood. The main thing I learned was to focus on one task at a time. Multitasking is not the way to go in this particular kind of work. 

i loved the job but management was very very poor. ended up getting pneumonia and was told “since it’s not covid you have to come”. had a family emergency the next week and since it wasn’t my mom or dad directly i got pointed and terminated. if you think your gonna get pto and actually be able to use it good luck. 

Can only speak for the frame mill. Its a job that will feed you, but its not a lifelong career. If you come in and do your job its not a hard place to work. Take your time because it doesn't matter if you get done with your work for the day your not leaving early like other departments they are going to bring you someone else's work to do

They do not care one bit about your health. Will work you to death! Will run you in the ground with overtime. You pay for health insurance that you will never have time to use. Couches are more important than mental wellbeing.

Pretty decent benefits and paid holidays, but terrible management. They have “bosses” instead of leaders. The ones in management positions spend their time belittling and gossiping and spreading rumors. Cussing and talking about other employees to employees working under them. I felt so uncomfortable and under valued as an employee.
