Not the most ethical In treatment of long term employees

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

None since Mr. Millken passed away

Cons

HR allows management to bully and harass employees and promote a toxic environment for the work place. The company and how they treat employees has definitely changed for the worst over the last few years.

Not a Career Company, Disappointment & High Turnover

Project manager

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Millken should be considered as a short term employment opportunity. Over the long term, the company demands a lot, but the rewards never make it back to the employees. If you try to believe in the company and expect to be rewarded, you will be bitterly disappointed.

Cons

Milliken & Co is privately owned by the 5th generation descendents of Seth Milliken who ran textile mills 150 years ago when child labor was common and workers were not much more than serfs. The textile mills are gone but the corporate culture has not changed in step with the rest of America. There is no transparency; the owners do not publish financial statements or any other reliable (verifiable) information about the company. Employee turnover from quits has always been high, running 20% for salaried employees and over 50% for some of the worst hourly occupations, and the Milliken owners clearly do not care about that glaring problem. For over 30 years now they have been casting about trying to figure out the future business of Milliken. I would warn young people away from working for the Millikens.

Skipping a qualified generation

Pros

Good resources, decent benefits, nice campus

Cons

Milliken is not promoting many associates over 45. They are skipping a generation of qualified people to to feel safer about future leadership planning. Any reason they come forward with explains away how the decision is fair.
