Hooker Furnishings

Hooker was a good place to work. Hooker offers a stable work environment if you are in the offices. They offer the basic benefit package that we’ve come to expect. Hooker has lost its competitive edge when it comes to pay compared to other local companies but they are making progress. Hooker has plenty of old fashioned minded top leaders.  Mostly everyone making major decisions look alike and think alike. Diversity is not a priority. No opportunity to make it to the top for certain people. Certain people are paid and reviewed differently for the same jobs. They work twice as hard but have to continue to prove themselves while others are promoted quickly.  Hooker brings less experienced people in at high levels while the ones who have gotten the company in a great position stay where they are. Hooker turns a blind eye to the bias shown by their VP’s and others. They say they want diversity but continue bias hiring and promotion methods daily. The company has lots of locations and opportunities so this is a terrific place to work for some. Recently they started letting a few people work from home. Again, this is not an option for most lower paid jobs at the company, which just happens to represent most of the POC employees. Though the company is growing, I would not recommend it to a young POC. If this company could improve its lack of diversity at higher levels, overall lack of inclusion while eliminating discrimination across all locations it would be the best employer in the area. 

Plant normally runs 2 shifts . You Start at 6 am  and work to 3:30 Monday through Friday , and half day or longer every Saturday (ONE SATURDAY OFF A MONTH)

Supervisors for most part try to help you, BUT they have to report to their Boss's, and upper Management is Terrible !!.

 Upper Management will lie to your face , and they have no clue what goes on in the plant -at all- They play favorites and let some people stand around and talk, use their cell phone and computer and when their work doesn't get done in a "timely manner" they take it off the slackers and give it to someone that  already gives 100 % everyday ,then wonder why you have a attitude. They keep adding more and more to do and won't hire any help because they don't want any more "hourly people" so you're told "if you want a job, do it"  How much extra can you do " especially  when they let 4 guys go when we were slow? and now more work then EVER !

Co-workers for the most part are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet...some bad apples, some love to run and tell on every little thing.

Hardest part is dealing with Upper management Decisions, because they don't care,or have ANY idea what it takes to get what they want done.

Everyone that works there will say 3:30 is the most enjoyable part of the day.

If you simply work without thought of failure you can overcome the fact that piece work at first seems overwhelming for different jobs throughout the plant.I do piecework and have found that if you break through mental boundaries of the unfamiliar , you can make good money. Thanks to my "Required Drive to succeed as an individual of the want for great accomplishment" I make good money and on top of that I get fantastic benefits.I do think some things could be managed differently but their system seems to have worked for them this long . Alot of people like to complain about working hard for their pay but it was this principal that this country was founded on and is what we've began to lack as a body. Jobs like this give you a sense of pride to reflect on quality. To anyone who will actually read this , I'm sure you would make a fine addition to this line-up. The strong will of one to succeed and not complain will make you healthy, wealthy, and wise. Oh and we don't work every Saturday because we work diligently. Good day!

Dead end job unless you are a BIG brown noser. Shady management. A handful of people actually work while the rest sand bag. The ones that do work can never do enough to make them happy. Lots of favoritism. By them hiring for this position shows that they don't advance employees. Good benefits but insurance is expensive. This job will be at the corp. office and they take care of those employees. They have a full gym, showers, basketball court etc. Warehouse workers are just bodies. Disposible. A replacement is just a call to the temp service and they will have a fresh body there in the morning. Don't go there thinking that hard work will get you somewhere because all it will get you is more hard work!

I’ve had the privilege of working at Hooker Furnishings for just over a year now, and I can genuinely say it’s one of the most rewarding roles I’ve ever had. Even in the face of broader economic challenges, the leadership here remains thoughtful, transparent, and committed to both the long-term vision and the people who bring it to life every day.

What I love most is the culture—we support each other, celebrate wins (big and small), and keep pushing forward with purpose and creativity. I feel valued, heard, and encouraged to grow, and that makes a world of difference. It’s a place where I can do work I’m proud of, alongside talented, kind-hearted teammates.

No job is without its ups and downs, but I truly believe in what we’re building here, and I’m proud to be part of it.



It is a decent company to work for.   It is great for a competitive natured person.  Hooker looks for the cream of the crop employee.  It is power driven company with opportunities to learn, and advance.  There are constant changes each day.  What you learn today, just may change tomorrow in the method in which you were taught.  It can be a extremely stressful environment.  If you seek a challenge and a high achiever looking for opportunities of advancement this is the company to work for.  The company believe in In-house training on a continuous bases.  In some cases, depending on the  job title and department, travel may be required for either business or training purposes.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Healthy company, benefits are good, people are helpful & friendly.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some indecisiveness or lack of leadership on management's part. Peculiar choices in prioritization of important areas.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Decent. Could improve. Seems some people are given a pass & the consistent workers are not singled out.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Morning meeting to go over agenda. Break at 10am, lunch @ 12 and another break at 3pm. Leave at 4pm unless close to Furniture Market. Pretty consistent otherwise.

Barley any heat in the winter, no AC in the summer  (unless of course you work in the office) so you're either freezing or sweating like a pig all day long.  Certain Departments have a 2 nd shift , BUT no Supervisor or service crew because they decided to cut costs there , So that means extra work for 1 st shift. 

Management is either clueless, or just doesn't care about what goes on out in the plant. They also pick and choose when and who to enforce their own policies on . You can be fired for too many points, but they will hire you back in 6 months !.

The most enjoyable part of the day is 3:30 when everybody runs out the door.

The workplace culture is volatile, the management team varies. I learned a lot from my manager. Mainly what I never want in a supervisor again. Very little communication, serious ego trip, and doesn't know your job. The hardest part of the job is you have no backup and the training is ridiculously minimal. I believe the most positive takeaway I had from working here was realizing I was happier and relieved after leaving. The team was nice and the majority of people were helpful. That's about it.

love the furniture, 
love the fabric and sewing all the styles of furniture. i do not like the favor of the management and the employees . there is to much favortise of the mangement , i do not like the parking lot it has to much washout and very very muddy, there is several piles of gravel that is not being used for the parking area, , when it rains the area is always flooded. not enough light at the parking area, and when acrossing the street to get into plant. there is no heat in wintertime and when the temperture is 70 to 85 degrees the heat get turn on and it feels like we are baking in plant because it get so hot.
