The pay will be tempting, but not worth it at all! The upper management sucks! Too many chiefs (who can’t agree on anything!) they give you absolutely no training and expect you to figure it out then hold it against you when if a mistake is made, and no give support when you need it. The GM at the Hilo branch I must say is AWESOME, but really she’s the only one. While employed there, I asked on many occasions for training and help by my “supervisor” who was working out of Oregon, I got no help at all. It’s either they “like you” or they don’t, and if they don’t they won’t help you or give you support, they will set you up for failure.  They let me go for mistakes that were made because of NO training, even though I constantly asked, then tried to get my unemployment benefits denied. They don’t operate with honesty, and like the other review said, trucks back dated,  but they still use them. They just overall don’t care! I wouldn’t even recommend this as a last resort job. Don’t let the good pay fool you. 

A typical day at work was stressful and frustrating.  I did learn a lot there, but I also had to make sure I learned by watching because there was no training.  If there was something I needed to know  I had to seek and find out for myself.  There was a lot of trail and error.  Management isn't very supportive.  The co-workers were nice people, but a lot of there were two sided.  The hardest part of the job was that there were too many boss, but not enough support.  The most enjoyable part was the people.

Would not recommend - if in any financial field stay clear. Can find better perks at basically any other company and they do not care about employees - only themselves. Had no idea what I was getting myself into when I joined. Wish them the best but definitely would recommend staying clear until they get with the times. Do believe there is a correlation between how they treat employees and the current state of the financial department.

Hard work and communicating among co-worker made the job a much cleaner atmosphere among worker and with Department Manager also helping the service and production and added ideas to help the company to go ahead to be The Best Lumber company of all the Hawaiian Isle.the mas

I began my career at Honsador Lumber a a temp and a month later I was offered a fulltime position in the accounting department. Management has always been great to me and recognized my talents.  I eventually worked my way up the ladder to their assistant general manager.The the was always very respectful and hardworking.  Enjoyed all of my 16 years there.

Sadly this company has gone down hill. Use to be good years ago when I first started out. Now there is new management who don’t support you at all. So much turnover it’s crazy. Trucks always broken, sales team stepping on eachothers toes. Bad environment to work in.

yes it was hard labor but it something different. knowing that is was to help build someone home was what i liked about it, it took a toll on my body but it also kept me moving and being active. i would definitely recommend this job to someone cause i could surely say that it made me motivate to keep on cutting wood cause i knew it was to build someone home.

I was the VP of Sales and Operations from 2010-2012. Honsador is a market leader in Hawaii and has locations on all islands. They have some of the best buying power and freight programs in Hawaii. The leadership has changed since I was with the company so I cannot speak of what the culture is like today.

Working with the employees at Honsador was one of the greatest experiences of my life.  Management and the presidents of the company were mediocre at best.  They had very little lumber experience and  the mistakes that they made were costly and easily fixed if they had been patient and allowed me to do my job

Boss is not mutual with all workers. So if you don’t want your personal life to be spread out through company i don’t recommend this job to anyone worst work environment i had yet. I was promised a raise but only people that got raises was due to favoritism not hard work. There is way better opportunities out.
