What is the best part of working at the company?
I enjoyed working there. I would still be working there except my husband had some card difficulties so he had to use my car to go back and forth to work which I had to give up my job because I couldn't be there I really miss it I really liked my supervisor too all really nice people there.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I had none I was a custodian and I had no stress did my job made sure things were clean and I think I done a pretty doggone good job too never had a complaint.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is very nice peaceful and the culture is fabulous they have a lot of different nationalities working there and everybody as I said before is very nice very nice people.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day when I would like to start at 5:00 in the morning and I worked until 10:00 in the morning pulling the trash cleaning the restrooms sweeping mopping vacuuming cleaning glass the entrance way just making sure that everything was nice and tidy cleaning the kitchen that area I totally enjoyed the job there which was no big deal it was just pulling trash and vacuuming and cleaning up their little kitchen area they had up there but it was a it was a good job it was a really good job and I miss it.

Don't expect to move up anytime soon if you are hired on the floor. If you want to move up in the company, you should become friends with the production manager, or you will not go away. I do mean friends as multiple people who are less qualified, have less time, have less education have moved up with less than impressive performance. The leaders within the company who are liked the least are almost always the scapegoats, which is accepted behavior by the production manager at the Greeneville plants. Others have noted that it is a good old boys' club, and production suffers dearly. I have heard multiple people explain how the current production manager sabotaged production to manipulate the interview process to get him promoted over another, which was the obvious choice with more experience and education. Don't expect to be treated with respect, as this company's culture is very disrespectful and passes blame readily onto those of lower standing. 

Overall not a good company to work for. Impossible deadlines with very little notice. Not enough pay for the work you're forced to do. Hours would fluxaute everyday. Would never know if we were gonna work 8 hours 10 hours or 12 hours. Would often make us stay past the time we got off to finish something they were in a rush for. Lunch break is short, bonuses aren't good, management sucks, everyone is negative, nobody knows what is going on. A lot of people stand around all day. For at least three weeks straight we stood around abd pushed brooms all day. Got bitched at for going to the bathroom and walking away from the work station to get a drink. They don't like to hire in temps so you're stuck making 11$ an hour doing the same work as everyone else even tho they tell you you'll be hired in after your 30 days. They're stingey with raises after you get hired in. The max you can get is 50 cents. I only got 30 cents after a full year of working there. I could go on and on but I figure I'll stop here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They have pretty good insurance 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The micromanagement,  nepotism, favoritism, and constantly being told "that's how we've always done it" gets old fast. Managers will constantly torpedo any new ideas that they didn't come up with. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is very oppressive.  The Chief of Manufacturing Operations storms around the plant looking for people to publicly berate and enjoys having people fear him. The culture is simple: if you're not related or looked at in a favorable light, you're trash.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As a salaried supervisor, my scheduled work day started at 8 AM and ended at 430 PM however, my manager expected me to be in at 6AM and leave after 630 PM plus come in on weekends. The days are full of constant production issues effecting every department.

running daily MRP orders, production control orders, opening, closing, inventory management control, vendor management system, MRO orders and generating Engineering change requirements to update new changes to their design or new product making sure old inventory was used properly or reworked in a save and productively way. Works on different tasks, and be part of meeting to satisfy customer satisfaction. Daily production requirements to bring production schedule on time. The most enjoyable part of my job was to end of the month report -satisfactory
met the end of the month required sales report and back order report.
Co workers excellent environment be able to meet company's expectations and be able to keep customer satisfaction on top as top of the number one towing industry.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The workers there and the people you meet. Pay is not the greatest and work could be more effective if they would here there employee and not shove it down there throats  because of corporate trying to look good to the board 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to work and supervision pushing and not having parts to do the job in a timely manner and get in trouble for standing around and not having enough people to split the work up .it's  like lean manufacturing do more with less

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hurry up and wait and not having  a good flow for products to move out of work areas and into staging are before products is complete and shipped  to customers 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hot need fans because you are moving all the time people in charge have respect for there workers and quite putting more on them instead of spreading work out among everyone

Overall I think Miller is a decent place to work. The guys that have been there for a while are very knowledgeable and willing to help new employees that put effort into learning the jobs. The welding supervisor treats everyone with respect unless you abuse that. The upper management is a different story, more like micro management. That’s the worst part about the place, 2 guys that couldn’t do any of the jobs in there running around trying tell everyone how to do theirs. 
    They do have a good wellness program that comes on site and checks hearing, BP, blood sugar, PSA, all kinds of things for free. And in the summer they have a big family picnic at Waldymere Park that’s pretty fun.. so even though the starting pay sounds a little low it’s only 90 days and you take another weld test, if you pass you get a $4.00 raise. It’s not a terrible place to work, just don’t listen to everyone complain.

Good company with a world class product in their field. Could be a great company with some management changes. Several key positions held by people with no manufacturing experience and no grasp of how to achieve real world manufacturing goals. Too much time/energy wasted on company politics instead of getting the job done. I wish Miller further success but there is open hostility between management and the workforce. Decisions are often about who is right rather than what is right. Some decision makers are vastly under-informed and are more concerned with preserving their job instead of moving the company forward. I hope Miller can overcome this because I liked working there and liked a lot of the people.

I'm not sure if it's changed, but back in 2017/18 while there they had cameras everywhere. If they found a blind spot they'd install a new camera. They would mention locking the break room between breaks and limiting access to the restrooms as well in an effort to boost productivity. They also required you to clock in no earlier than 15 minutes, but no later ran 5 minutes before the start of your shift. They said any earlier they'd have to pay you and by clocking in 5 minutes early it allowed you time to get to your work station and be ready to work. Any later than 5 minutes was considered tardy and would result in disciplinary actions. 

No real complaints about the work in itself corporate on the other hand uses any and all opportunities to slam the hourly employees with no concept of accountability for their own actions, corporate is out of touch with the struggles of the average worker, they take off days from you in policy changes and make you work an unreasonable amount of overtime on top of the 50 hours a week you're required to work, the shop it's self is hot in the summer and cold in the winter it's not climate controlled as they claim work life balance is terrible, work culture is nothing but a blame game and the most enjoyable part of the job is leaving at the end of the day.
