American Woodmark Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I worked for American Woodmark for eight years but sadly lost my job due to the pandemic's effect on the economy. I loved working for a company that employed some of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. In my tenure at the company, I made some lifetime friendships. I had several different supervisors over the years, and was always very pleased with management's performance. Of course, there are always things about an employer that employees may not like, and American Woodmark had its share of issues. But ultimately, they are a great company with an even better culture."

"I joined American Woodmark straight out of college in 2019. It is a good company, but the culture that it prides itself on varies widely plant-to-plant. This is a good company for someone desiring a laid-back role. It has 18 plants and 10,000 employees across the US and Mexico, having recently acquired RSI in 2017."

"Not a recommended place for management positions. They are going through down sizing."

"I worked there for for almost two years, but was laid-off due to the pandemic. The company was going through a transitional period after acquiring RSI home products. Numerous changes and adapting was happening throughout that time. It has been difficult to integrate and have common goals."

"Great staff, Horrible management"

"Not going to rate my current company."

"Wonderful and innovative company. The culture is outstanding."

"I worked for AWC seven years in the 90's, and now the past two years. This organization is a primary reason for attaining my college education. Not to use for the organization but to understand the "corporate culture" mental model built by executives. I found that AWC allows archaic mental models to control locations by promoting uneducated, tenured employees who have no business managing people, money, or processes. If you are an old timer willing to drink the Kool-Aid, this company is for you, if you want to learn and grow through quality leadership, mentors, and solid company foundations, keep looking. This company does NOT practice what they preach."

"Change just for change is not good."
