Working at Milgard Manufacturing in Tacoma, WA: 3 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Tacoma, WA Area

"Great company to work for. I have been at Milgard since 1982 and have been allowed to work my way from Supervisor to General Manager"

"While there are a lot of nice, hard working people employed here, upper management needs to be more respectful and accountable. The newest HR Manager is dishonest and arrogant, she does not bother to know or follow the company's policies. The benefits are decent but the pay is low for those of us doing all the hard labor."

Please don't let my negative reviews of a certain group of ppl discourage you from applying if you see fit."

What don't you like about working at Milgard Manufacturing?

"Top management at division 16. The top managers that runs (or ran, I don't know if they 're still employed at Milgard) divison 16 plant are most of the time are not professional, criticizes without giving any constructive feedback, a lot of my way or the highway attitudes and the location manager-she was most definetely not a people's person. If there's one main thing that drove me away from Milgard -it's definetely top menagement leadership. I didn't have a lot of faith in them.In general, management at corporate level is good, it's just management in div 16 that needed a lot of work. No career growth opportunities"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Listen to your subordinate more, remember that being a manager is not a power trip. Overall, I think Milgard just needs to hire better people to fill top management positions. Someone who doesn't drive away more than half of her middle managers would be preferable."
