Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Job market is picking up...keep looking! If you do decide to join their team, keep your resume out there and updated so when the opportunity to join a truly stellar company comes up you don't miss it because you have settled for AWC...not a place you want to stay long!"

What don't you like about working at American Woodmark?

"Unless you are part of the clique that worked at their Tahlequah location (closed that facility) you don't have much of a chance of promotion or longevity. The company talks a great deal about their culture but senior leadership does not walk the talk. Decisions are made based on relationships and not what is in the best interest of the organization and shareholders. Great deal of those in leadership positions lack even a bachelors degree. Turnover in salary positions at my facility was off the charts...lost close to 40% in little over a year. Corporate makes excuses instead of looking inward. Complete lack of diversity in hiring. Incredible amount of overtime for salary/hourly with no end in site. 11-12 hour days are the norm."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Break up the Tahlequah gang that are protecting each other. Diversity is greatly lacking in entire organization but especially in leadership positions. Give up the private jet and employees commuting every week from remote states when you have closed numerous plants."

"A prolific company with a great culture."

What do you like about working at American Woodmark?

"The deep rooted culture and upper level management involvement with the production facilities was fantastic. American Woodmark has set a standard of excellence that in all levels of it's operations that does not compare to any company I have worked for. They do practice what they preach. I miss working with the company and the great employees."
