Hood Industries

To be active and engaging in everyday work and performing at the highest level. Meeting every day challenge and to see it through by shift's end. Getting to know fellow workers and helping others. Learning different type of lumber, to the  basic pines to the exotic mahogany, the comparison of one wood to another and the many places where they are grown. To marvel how a simple tree...can build a house, buildings, and malls. Things I never knew and never paid attention to but, workplace can be difficult at times during winter! Must adjust to temperature and proper clothing and same applies to hot summer days. But, at the end of the day...It's about maintaining a productive and busy life.

Would not recommend. Everything from management to employees is just stressful. The work is like boot camp. They’re more of an “oh well” type company where they don’t care about you or if they do they have a real way of showing it. They care about their production more. It’s not necessarily the job, it’s the people. The job is good, career wise as well. But it’s like walking on pins and needles. They give you points for everything. I understand if you have to miss work sometimes but some of the things you get in “trouble” for is just ridiculous. Over time, this place definitely gave me anxiety and major depression. I would have breakdowns on the way to work and at work. And people here can be uptight and their attitude stinks! Hate to be critical but it’s honesty.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Co-worker and myself had a great working relationship 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having a manager who has no grasp of the daily operation.  As long as things ran smooth he didn't have to do anything.  However if things went sideways and they did frequently he didn't know how to handle it.  There was never any forward thinking or game planning.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The phrase just another day at Hood was used frequently and not in a positive way 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Filled with anxiety knowing there was no direction.

If you are looking for a maintenance position here it could be worth your time but other than that, if you’re on the production line, you will be working long days with mediocre pay. There are no such thing as raises or bonuses here.. get ready for a Little Caesars for your hard worked quarter. There are no benefits to staying long term. Some operators have been there for 15+ years and new hires will make exact same pay starting there first day. Equipment is old, worn out, and malfunctions pretty much daily. Management is a joke, they don’t respect you as an employee and only care about production. The workers themselves are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. One of the only highlights of working here. 

When I started the hood it was a great pay you got paid about a week about an hour being a part of a team makes you didn't want to get hurt he'll say the employers whoever the boss of supervisor or the plan manager was great people and I'm just willing to be a part of a team to work hard and to take care of my kids and my family and stay some gold and some situations let him know that and how they go by doing the right thing and we do have a great job like working for her

Thinking of joining as a Manager Trainee? Prepare to be underpaid, overworked, and thoroughly undervalued. Despite the title, you’re essentially a warehouse grunt with a fancier name. The company’s revolving door of temp workers makes it impossible to build a competent team, and upper management seems more interested in cutting corners than developing people. Don’t expect support, training, or recognition—just long hours and vague promises. In a city like Memphis, full of reputable distribution companies, there’s no reason to settle for a program this poorly managed and shortsighted.

Never ending task due to no process being followed and a management team of three that lock themselves in an office to try and figure out how to manipulate the company. Employed for four years with four different managers that only one followed Hood Industries process. No accountability and management team makes up the rules as they go. Poorly managed mill that is going in the wrong direction. 

was lied to from day 1 manager did not have my back. I was injured at work and they fought me from day 1.They fired me for using up short term disability, that should of been workmans comp. HR would not return calls or e-mails.Manager jumped ship after destroying my credibility. After 2 Knee surgurys  that workmans comp. covered  ended up having knee replacements that they denied having responsibility for. What ever you do dont get hurt on the job, they have big pockets and will fight you tooth and nail.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great pay an benefits. But very hot in summer an very cold in winter.  Everybody is treated equal. I would highly recommend any seeking a manufactured an production job apply with them.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It's a very hot environment in the summer time 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very hot in summer time  an cold in winter. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working in a fast pace environment

Safty meetings everytime before work ppe on at all times expect in breakroom and meeting rooms, safety bonuses ,sometimes free lunches and dinners, water availability, Gatorade in summertime, fast pace management is watching out for your safety and productivity at most times through the day  pay is above average even through temp agency that,they use most of the time
