Personally in my experience Shoe Cove was the worst job I've ever had and I've had a lot of jobs. That being said management doesn't respect their people and if you arent liked they are sure to get rid of you fast. There are a bunch of older ladies in the workplace that start drama and will talk badly about you because you simply dont want to engage in the same behavior. The work is never on time you have to wait for more pieces to be made which lowers your piece per rate. Not to mention, they will throw you off to the side. So other people can take over your job basically which again cuts on the piece per rate. People there make assumptions that simply aren't true and lack of knowledge all of them possess its dumbfounding. Most of the people there are miserable and honestly just need fired it wouldn't be so bad if the management had enforced the same rules that apply to new people. Oh almost forgot to mention the safety regulations they have are basically like zero there is no ppe or rules to follow. When it comes to the flame machine that is just dangerous and quite frankly it should have more of a safety standard. The flame machine needs to have better pay. Especially if you are working with more dangerous equipment. Overall my experience there was a 2 out of 5 stars I do not recommend. 

From day one there is absolutely no training or support for a new hire at this level. You will be thrown into the fire and left to figure things out on your own. Immediately you will get be thrown under the bus by fellow supervisors even though you are just getting to learn the process. They will wash their hands with you. Expect 10 hr. Days, Saturdays, and a constant loss of employees due to terrible pay. You will find yourself constantly interviewing, training, losing the same employees and running through the same cycle over and over while management acts oblivious to theses obstacles and expects for you to meet production goals without the experienced employees. Out of at least 22 people on the line at a point 12 were new and I was constantly rushed through the process of getting them up to speed. Management will make decisions and plans without you about your line rather than involving you to work together. Constant promises of bringing people with experience but will never happen. People do not want to return to this place once gone.  Trust me and save yourself the headache and stress, this is not for you 

If you are not related to, sleeping with, or worked there for 40 years, you have NO CHANCE, surving there. Long time workers, CONTINUISLY QUIT, and are RE HIRED. NEW HIRES, dont stand a chance at making ANY kind of wages. As the PIECE WORK, is handed out, to workers at MANAGMENTS choosing. So if you are NOT in their circle, or they decide that they don't like you, or want you there, you will STARVE. They will RE HIRE, prisoners on work release, pedophiles,  and when employees were found DOING DRUGS AT WORK ON THE COMPANY GROUNDS. Instead of being fired.....they were allowed to keep their jobs, and ALL employees had to attend a drug counseling session,  where they offered FREE REHAB.....But good, hardworking NEW HIRES, dont stand a chance, and get run out of their job, like me, and others. I'm not a local, but I worked hard at my job. I was always early, did what ever was asked of me. But, I watched as many employees just walked around socializing,  or taking smoke breaks, for half of the day. But, if you actually DO your work, you get accused of being UNPRODUCTIVE. That was the end for me. Working for NO MONEY, and being DISRESPECTED,  was not worth it.

CEO is great. He's passionate and he cares about his employees. Decent benefits and pay is average for your field.

I enjoyed working for H.H. Brown Shoe Company - It's been a great place to work. They include standard benefits (health, 401k matching, bonuses) at reasonable rates. Chain of command is relatively small, and upper management is highly aggressive with business decisions for the future. H.H. Brown also has a very "family-like atmosphere," this really helps new employees fit in and enjoy the work. The opportunity for internal growth at the company is strong if you show passion, risk-taking abilities, and dedication.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management supported growth, open communication and work life balance. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Changes in management as people retired.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work life balance, open communication, and open to new ideas.  Also open to allowing people to explore new opportunities for growth. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As a sales rep days began early to call on customers, present new product and close new orders. 70% + travel within territory.

It's been only few months for me I joined HH Brown. I feel really great when I am working in a friendly environment, most of the people here are very supportive and experienced. In a very small time I got exposed to so many new technologies and working methods. My team is fast paced, friendly and very supportive for each other- They always help you to learn new things. They also understand and considerate about work life balance or if you need PTO's/ Flexible hours (of course depends on your manager as well). I am so happy that I got an opportunity to work here. 

Place offers descent pay with-out managements input on micro managing your every move on preventing money being made. Feel that place needs to reconsider piece rate system or redoing entire management force cause they will find way to degrade, suck every drop of motivation out of your drive on preventing you from making money! And praise very few unless you drink with them, Ride bikes, Eat breakfast, shrine, WOULD Define true terms of brown nosing management that will dispose of your kind when needed.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Freedom to do your job. Manufacturing domestic footwear. 


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Attending corporate meetings, call reports and weekly conference calls 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I traveled a large territory, working several calls per day, inputting orders, and preparing for next day sales calls.

Certain times of the year are incredibly busy.
I'd like more opportunity/encouragement to learn. Management could be more supportive. Co-workers are good. Hardest part of the job is getting improved systems and processes implemented. Lack of structure. Lack of schedules and follow ups. Regular performance reviews would help open communications with managers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Was close yo home but other than that there wasnt anything good at all management is a joke.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management and other coworkers 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very poor and pathetic wouldn't recommand working there to anyone

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dreadful and stressful all around
