Supportive coworkers hindered by abusive leadership

Pros

Good coworkers trying their best.

Cons

Dept director is verbally abusive, does not follow the "American Woodmark Way" and gets away with it. He only calls to let you know you did something wrong. Does not apologize when you prove it wasn't you that messed up. Will always cover for his local facilty to the detriment of the other locations.

Good direct manager and team, but HORRIBLE upper management

Quality team member

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Direct manager cares and has goals in place to help improve the department. The core team is made up of great people that work well together.

Cons

Seems like the plant director is actively and intentionally making the entire plant worse. Zero accountability for disrespecting hourly workers even when it's brought to management's attention. Supervisors have completely checked out and refuse to provide the help needed for their people to succeed. Nonexistent advancement opportunities unless you go to church with or are friends with certain managers. Cliquey front office and improper use of employee information. Little to no diversity in management roles. There is a single manager that's a POC and he's their most recent hire.
