NORWALK FURNITURE Employer Reviews

Managing a small staff with sales targets always creates high energy. I discovered a new approach to sales that had many merits. Keeping the staff happy among each other in a competitive environment is always a challenge. Making it all come together is the reward.

As Supervisor of the Warehouse Dept. and Transportation Dept. days were very challanging which I like. My co-workers were the best. I sceduled the furniture to be shipped to customers and saw that the trailors were assigned properly and furniture was loaded correctly so as no damage. Oversaw 8 workers on the Loading Dock and 5 others in various depts. – more... as we were third shift. In the Warehouse I scheduled the unloading of raw materials to be delivered to the different depts. Kept inventory control and also assigned job duties to the 5 co-workers in the dept. – less

Typical day would start around 7 am and would end 7 pm with always being on call. I learned so many different things with Norwalk for P&L, managing large groups of people 100+, design, team work, how to write policy's, how to be a great trainer and many other things. The owner of the company was wonderful to work for and so was the vice president. I – more... truly enjoyed all the people I worked with and who worked for me. The hardest part of my job was trying to be the best at everything. I feel I almost had to many responsibilites to be able to be great at all of them.I loved working with clients and designers to give clients what they wanted for there homes. I also really enjoyed working with franchisees across the country with everything from budgets to hiring the right people. – less
