Its a very understanding work place, ill give them that one but the work isnt too consistent where i was working. Youll work 3-4 full days out of a week, come in for 2-4 hours a couple days sometimes, But still say you have to work the Saturday even if its 2-8 hours. Or make you come in for 10 hour shift 3 days a week then the next 2 days come in 4 hours and still make you work 8 hours saturday even with no work to be done. They rarely give bonuses but when they do, it be like 75 extra dollars in your check every 3 to 4 months IF they give you a bonus. They force you to do exercises during meetings every day that really locks you up and writes you up when you dont. One day your supervisor will be complimenting you on how your doing a good job and keep it up, then the next day they want to write you up for something. And when they do write you up its not like your the only person there doing what your getting in trouble for, weather its using the bathroom before the group meeting or getting a coffee when you use the bathroom at any other point. Supervisors there ar like police, i feel like they get talked to about something by their higher ups and have to find someone to enforce the rules on and write them up so they dont get in trouble. Basically if everyone there comes back from break 1 min late even if your the first one back, your the only one getting wrote up because your either not close to the supervisor or your the most approachable person. You really get wrote up for anything it aint like your harassing people or making problems. Its easy to lose your job here over petty write ups.a clean warehouse place to work but Really messy production work. Most work comes messed up and your stuck fixing other people mistakes and these tables are not light to be picking up all day.

This place was amazing until the current CEO and merger happened. So many good leaders and HR left because they all saw the plummet. Benefits are only thing worth doing. Advancement is possible, but you have to almost be on your leader’s butt to get them moving. If you move up, step down for a new experience or better opportunity and want to try to move back up elsewhere, it’s not happening. Everyone now is on the knee up the chain of command just to move up. If someone on a team doesn’t like you, you’re not moving. Privacy isn’t safe within and everyone will have something to say about you so you can’t move up or over and can fully deny it. Overtime that never makes sense because their system isn’t properly calibrated. Holidays are nice and you get a lot of vacation over time. I myself left after nearly 8 years from applying myself across all 3 shifts, through Covid and doing every hourly position up through their facilitating leadership only to be denied any further training, shift change or job change. 

Management is very flexible and seeks to help and empower you, not burden you.  Teams are very small typically, so part of that empowerment comes with a cost that a lot of responsibility is put on your shoulders to deliver.

Upper management is very open, and I've had no problem conversing with them.  The section I work with uses an open hours format that makes them very approachable.

This is a great place to work if you have a family, because it is very flexible regarding hours.  So if you have to make a soccer practice, or some other child event, management has no issues with you adjusting your hours so long as you consistently hit 40 per week.  I've even been told not to overextend above 40 too much because they were concerned about burnout.

Workloads are adjusted based on available time you have, not based on hard dates.  So if requests are unreasonable, they adjust so that you aren't putting in a lot of overtime.

MillerKnoll is an excellent place to work.  

A typical day at work was disorganized, draining, and tense. I was hired for my personality, but the toxic culture quickly stripped that away.
What I learned was how harmful a workplace can be when empathy and accountability are completely absent. HR exists only to protect leadership—not employees.
Management was ineffective and frequently shuffled between teams instead of being held accountable. When my father passed away, I received no support, compassion, or flexibility.
The workplace culture is outdated, especially for working parents. There’s no understanding of modern work-life balance, and remote work is discouraged—even when the role allows it.
The hardest part of the job was staying motivated in such an unsupportive environment, especially during personal tragedy.
The most enjoyable part was bonding with coworkers who were going through the same dysfunction.


Management turnover is frequent, leading to the promotion of new and inexperienced employees who fit the DEI&B model. However, these individuals often struggle in their roles, resulting in significant overtime demands, including work on Saturdays. The emphasis on work-life balance heavily favors work commitments, and employees are penalized if they need to leave for appointments during overtime hours. The workplace culture is marked by backstabbing and unpleasant behavior among colleagues. The only factors keeping employees at the company are average pay and benefits. Additionally, the organization is perpetually hiring due to a 20% employee turnover rate.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Structure; teamwork; goal-oriented.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
For me(as always), when coworkers bring their at home issues to work with them.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast paced ; goal driven; accountability. The best mindset is to be ready to get the job done.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go! Go! Go! Because the company has its obligations to customers and shareholders alike. Goals are set and the expectations are real.

Overall it’s not a bad place to work. Most of the time you’re paid to just be there but sucks when you have important things to do and you’re mandated to work 10 hours a day, six days a week. Favoritism is definitely a thing there but I guess that’s anywhere. Hardest workers stay at the bottom while others with friends in the office move up and sky is the limit for them. 

Not a bad place though. If they would only let you leave when there’s lack of work it would probably be a better place.

The maharam management lied to its employees on multiple occasions about the direction of the company following the Miller/Knoll merger. They explicitly denied that they would merge the Knoll Textiles brand with the Maharam brand then did it anyways, eliminating the majority of the Knoll Textiles sales force at the same time. They let people go regardless of their sales numbers. All this in the name of "more profits". Now the people that are left are doing 2-3x the work for less money than they made previously.
