Henderson Products

This is a great place to work and do business with, if you're looking for a mature workplace and can make it in to work every day, on time.    I've noticed that the only reviews that are on here are from "snubbed" past-employees that weren't able to work with adults or make it to work on a regular basis.  However, I assure you that if you have the ability to work with others, have not only an open mind to others ideas, but also have ideas of your own to help the company grow, then I highly recommend you apply!

We are a truck up-fitter, meaning we'll take a bare chassis from a chassis manufacturer and turn it into a completed turn-key snow plow, dump truck, etc. for our customers.  We specialize mainly the Municipal Snow & Ice market, but do also build a few custom trucks from time to time that include asphalt dump trucks, etc.

Very easy-going group of people here, with various levels of knowledge.  A lot of cross-training occurs, so you'll never be stuck in just one department, if you don't want to be.

All positions are very hands on and everyone is willing to share their knowledge to help further your process.

Management has changed for the better and it definitely shows at our location, not only through non-stop building improvements, but employee morale, as well.  Management is also very family-oriented, when it comes to last-minute time off requests, etc.  There are even catered lunches about once every 1-2 months for employee appreciation evens.

If you're able to go that "extra mile" in your position, the door is wide open to advancement!  The company is ever-expanding and holds a very bright, growth-filled future ahead of it.  We are always looking for results-oriented, hard-working people that are looking to further their knowledge and skills in the truck up-fitting field.

Great benefits, 401k, insurance, company parties/outings, drawings, etc.  Breaks include 3-10 minute breaks and 1-30 minute lunch.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Henderson Products to a friend if they were looking for a job related to what we do.

Skeptical?  Have any questions?  Feel free to come visit and ask the employees for yourself!

A typical day at work:  
    it's like riding a roller coaster with your hair on fire. everyone wants to complain about problems and just blame other people/departments than solve anything.

What you believe you learned:  
   If you are someone that actually wants to make change or improvement, then don't work here or risk them trying to ruin your career if you don't fit in or if you don't "drink the juice".

Management:  
     The senior management team can't be trusted and only lookout for themselves.  Everyone is a scapegoat for their inability to manage teams and a company.  A lot of "do as I say not as I do" mentality with the production management.

workplace culture: 
     strait up toxic!  too many subcultures in the company that clash with each other.  Management caters to the poor performers if they are buddies with the managers and ignore issues from others.  A lot of favoritism in policy enforcement.  Promote based on if they like you not on qualifications.  Very Hostile work environment.

The hardest part of the job: 
      Putting up with the lies and hypocrisy from the managers.  Dealing with managers that don't care about you unless they can use you for their own gains.  When they got rid of the one good manager, we had that actually cared and listened and tried to help make things better, but his efforts were stopped or ignored by the other managers.

The most enjoyable part of the job:  
     The few coworkers that are mature and professional about their jobs.  When the management team tries to show they care with department meetings and just lie about anything to make them look good and the departments look like they need to do better, just makes you laugh at the clowns.

You need skills in the job you're doing but upper management thinks that any random person off the street can come in and do this job and that's not the case. The things they do and a decisions that management makes, you would think they are intentionally trying to run the place to the ground and it's sad to see because this used to be an awesome place to work and I really like my job when I started 8 years ago. They have "engineers" that have barely been to the shop more than a couple times, that are making changes and telling us how the shop flow should go and it has honestly messed everything up and made it impossible to do our job properly or efficiently in any manner. Instead they should ask the people that do the job everyday what they think because a lot of them have been there for a long time and no much better than someone who has been there a number of times that I can count on one hand. It's just sad to see the place go down the drain like it is when it was so much better in every aspect less than a decade ago.

Working at Henderson has been an incredibly positive experience. If you're looking for a company that offers stability in even the most volatile markets, real opportunities for advancement, in-house development, flexibility, autonomy, a meaningful challenge, and a true sense of purpose—you’ve found it.  Henderson is committed to building an exceptional workplace culture and is making bold strides toward becoming one of the best. 

The people here are among the most talented and dedicated you'll find anywhere. Of course, no place is perfect—every job comes with its share of frustrating days and challenges—but overall, this is a rock-solid company producing some of the most advanced and impressive equipment in the industry. And their slogan, “The Dependable Ones,” isn’t just about the products—it reflects the company’s identity at every level.


One of the worst companies I have worked for. Say they want change and to improve but when suggestion are brought up to management there’s always an excuse not to make small changes. Might as well bang your head against the wall. 
Theirs is ABSOLUTELY NO employee involvement what so ever. Office employees do not listen or care about welders and other labor employees. 
Engineering department and CI Departments are an ABSOLUTE JOKE! Continuously are informed of issues with prints or drawings they arnt held accountable for helping the laborer employees jobs be a little easier. 
MAJOR favoritism. If your in good with all the office people and kids their buts and don’t rustle any feathers your golden but if you are genuine and being up issues they will force you out. 

Tribal knowledge is very useful for inexperienced new hires,. Prints are very well set up (for the most part). Supervisor and Manager's willingness to keep employees working even when the employees are waiting on parts is exceptional. The variety of work is exceptional. Environment is very clean and well kept. It is recommended that Henderson Products LLC is to find and hire more open minded female welders to adapt the older employees to a far more respectable stature, making things clear as far as what should and should not be said in or around the workplace before things get out of hand between employees. Also not allowing one of your hiring managers near female employees unsupervised at anytime in order to avoid any unsettling situations before they happen.

Henderson is very open-minded and family oriented.  The Engineers are always ready to create parts you design, to make your day easier.  Management is very family-oriented and willing to work with the employees, through the unknown surprises that could arise on any given day, outside of work.  The place is constantly improving in every aspect and maintains a Continuous Improvement mindset.  Management makes it clear that they SERVE the techs, rather than "crack the whip."  Very cool place to work and it's clear that if you take care of Henderson, Henderson takes care of you!

This company cares about the employees that work for them. This goes all the way to the parent company that owns Henderson. The entire corporation cares about every employee. Sometimes the work sucks, sometimes it doesn’t but I have never worked in an environment as good as this one. Everyone shuts down early for cake on every single person’s birthday, provided by the company. You can walk in the supervisor office anytime and he/ she will help you with anything. Great company get togethers all the time at fun places. It really is an excellent atmosphere with probably the best management I’ve ever worked for!!!!

A typical day at Henderson is when you walk in the door you already can feel the tension. They push you to the max-making you stay late and mandatory Saturdays all the time plus push for Sundays. Management can care less all they do it what they are told to by the higher up. The higher up is a horrible person-sleeping with the employee and only cares about what his bonus will be. Hopefully the HR Dept will handle him properly as it's been brought to their attention. It's a very hostile, stressful and unprofessional place to work. The only good thing is their benefits.

Henderson has been an outstanding company to work for and has provided me with the work/life balance I need to be able to raise my family.  The people are outstanding and the opportunities for advancement are there if you want them, are willing to work for them, and have the right mindset.  By all means no company is perfect but if you want to be part of the solution to make this company the best, than it's definitely for you.  If you want pick apart every negative and be part of the problem...best to move on.
