Sherrill Furniture

I found the place a great environment to work in until other employees start belittling your actions and they start micro-managing you.  It left a very negative moral with your efforts feeling unimportant. I was hired and praised by a former supervisor who went to work at Sherrill when the previous company he worked for dissolved. I was told by many former co workers this boss thought a lot of my work ethics and he rehired me to start at Sherrill when I was looking for work.  I learned a lot as quickly as I could but shown minimal requirements and then criticized when not done properly. When I found out the person I was hired to replace was NOT leaving the company after all, things became very difficult and stressful in the surrounding environment. Constant ridicule, and finger pointing with in your face contact, made me feel very inadequate and when I went to the boss whom admired my work ethics, suddenly a conflict arose and no improvement was made. I was praised I was doing a good job and I would be staying but the person became aggressive and I soon left the company unable to tolerate the constant "not good enough" according to some attitude.  I loved the workplace environment of furniture industries and the fact that I had an important role to fulfill, I just could not compete against the previous persons 15 years of experience the way she wanted things done.  I knew many people there- that was the best part of my job, and the respect that many others had given me with the understanding I had a tough role to fulfill. The environment was very busy but I liked the challenge and that I performed well under the best circumstances.

Not making this up. Several times our pay was late for a day. Ancient dinosaur equipment, people literally argue or fight once a month at least. Instead of using a squeeze forklift like everyone else to unload huge buns that are literally 112 inches high, (over 9ft high) and 81 inches wide (7 ft wide); You're expected to hold a small cart about 3ft long by 2ft wide and knee high with wheels, against it, prop your leg at the back of it, and keep it from sliding when you grab the top of the bun and pull it, using leverage to have it fall on the cart, and push everything out of the way so you can barely squeeze by to the proper destination. Oh and yes it hurts your legs and feet when you're using it as a scotch to keep the cart in place while you're pulling the block down. That's just one bun of a whole truck load 😁

You couldn’t ask for better people to work with, they care and will show up if tragedy happens. They send cards, food, money, and support. They also celebrate with you in the joyous moments too! The downside is upper management, specifically HR. HR is overly involved in the production side and tend to make you feel like a child in school. Also, if you are really good at what you do they will keep you there instead of offering you promotions or will just keep piling stuff on you without a position or title to avoid paying you. Head of HR is more like a warden than someone who presents opportunities. Lastly, if you’re an hourly employee and not salary, you don’t get any PTO or get any opportunities to earn vacation days. The only vacation hourly workers get is a week at Christmas and a week July 4th.

Sherrill furniture is probably the best furniture manufacturer in NC I have ever worked for.I would recommend anyone who wants to be paid top pay for there skills to apply there.If I wouldn't have had the personal issues going on at the time I would have never left.You usually work 40 hours a weeks sometimes a little more but you are compensated for it,air conditioned plants, cafeteria on site nurse all the bells and whistles.
