Millwood, Inc.

When first hired was a second job for me, Chose to make it only one after a fee months, Had a great employee feeling,Like they really cared and made me feel wanted and needed,Then management got fired and went downhill,The bonuses and paid lunches, prizes, raffles, holiday celebrations all went away,Worked there for 1.5 yrs and not one raise. Learned how to run and do everything and still no raise,People getting hired no experience making more than me, All jobs have same pay,Unless you repair pallets or run the sorter machine. Only way to make more than minimum wage, Or be in office. But production worker from forklift , painting, janitor, inspector minimum wage

The worst place to work in with the worst management team. Wait, there is no management team, bosses will only act like bosses when they are needed to. You get no help from mangers or supervisors. People are Hired & fired from left to right. The work is overwhelming, stressful, and sometimes not your work that you have to take care of. They lie and cheat to cover themselves up to not make the company at fault. If you get hurt forgot about having a job or any money coming in because they are no help or try to help understand your side. Prepare to work alot overtime, weekends, and holidays.  Was there for 7 1/2 years and I ran that department as a manger getting paid less than what I should have. They are all about their “pillars” but sure don’t act or do any of what they stand for. When it comes to certain situations they are no help or understanding. Take my advice and just run because you will find no hope here.  

I worked as a Shipping and Receiving Clerk at the Melrose location and never again! Be prepared to throw any life you had away, they demand overtime, holidays and weekends for meager pay. Raises are 3, 9 and 12 months for a max of .50 cents and performance based. The amount of work and management you have to do because Upper Management can't get it together is beyond what any person should have to deal with. They will jerk you around and play games, they lie and fire literally everyone. Be prepared to go home everyday wondering if you're going to get in trouble, fired or written up. And if you get sick you better start filing for unemployment because there are no sick days. Communication sucks and you're the admins and supervisors whiping boy.  I feel bad for whoever decides to work there. Best of luck, get out while you can. 

-A typical day starts off 0 to 60 in the first minute and never slows down. 
-I learned how few people can actually keep up such a demanding damaging pace
-Management is constantly changing and reshuffling
-the workplace culture is decent but everyone's in pain from the demanding job so its about what you'd expect 
-the hardest part of the jobs are either keeping up with piece rate employees or as a piece rate employee working fast enough to make a decent living without damaging yourself in the meanwhile. 
-the most enjoyable part is once you've obtained the necessary skills to do the job and get the work done you can accomplish a level of workload you never through possible and have a pretty decent pay.

Millwood is a good place for men to work in wood shop or building pallets. You work hard 9 hours 4-5 days a week, benefits ok, low raises, 401k plan  health insurance, no dental. First and Second shift only. My husband was having health issues but continued to work during Covid -19 he was sick over the weekend forgot to call off Monday on returning back to work on Tuesday Millwood Inc. terminated his job for no call no show. He worked five years at this dead end job never calling off until this epidemic 2020, the company gave everyone a two dollar raise then fired my husband claims he pointed out. He was truely discriminated against in every way. The most enjoyable part of his job was  working day shift, quarterly bonus and company picnic and cedar point.

Second shift starts at 230pm.  There are two ten minute breaks and a half hour lunch.  The dust collection system is old and under powered for what they use it for.  In the summer  you *might get a fan, and in winter your heater *might work (either an overhead coil heater, or kerosene turbo heater).  

Management is chaotic.  There will either be a rush to get something done, or busy work.  

Shift bias is a very large issue with the favor towards First.

Honestly, the only good thing I can say is that my current group of coworkers are what makes it possible to make it to the next paycheck.

Most stressful job I have ever had, unnecessarily so.  Inexperienced management who lie to protect themselves.  Rude front office.  They literally have no clue how to operate a business successfully or how to treat people. (See their Compass Report showing an average monthly financial loss of over $300k each month)
They parade around under the banner of God, but lie, cheat and steal from one another inside the company to give a false facade.  I have never seen such a greedy selfish group.  
They have run off or fired every manager that had any ethics or backbone.  
Beware of Millwood!  Trust no one, watch your back, and prepare to work 60-80 hours a week and no reciprocating appreciation.

There are unaddressed anger issues and employee relations issues that are ignored despite repeated complaints.  Promotions are on a “trial basis” but the transactions are never completed and the employee liter is not compensated.  The plant mgr is disorganized at best and bullying and intimidation from regional managers are regular events.

I am going to speak with the honest truth. In reality, the company is very bad for the reason that I was hired as Plant Supervisor and they wanted me to learn everything quickly in two weeks and then leave me alone in the second shift. I did not receive proper training, they are not here. qualified to train people everything has to be fast and you don't have time to eat in the half hour break actually the person who is in charge of the company is not qualified to train staff I give him a zero for bad behavior and not understanding Other people do not recommend this job to people who are looking for a quiet environment.

I was brought in to assess and improve upon the processes by which the Plant operated. After coming to my conclusions and going to upper management for the tools I needed to make the Plant a success I received minimal to no response from them.
Management beyond the boots on the ground Supervisors do not seem invested in implementing the changes necessary to make the company thrive and build a foundation for the future. It seems they have checked out.
