Allsteel InternsHNI Member-Owner Culture

Allsteel is one of the many operating companies of HNI Corporation, and we believe that our ability to accomplish what we set out to do is based on hiring the best and the brightest people.  Without talented young people like you, HNI wouldn't be the strong performer that it is today.  From the beginning, we have called each other "members".  We have a unique and powerful member-owner culture; every member has the opportunity to participate in making our business better and regular members share in the company's success through HNI's profit-sharing program.  At HNI, you'll find a commitment to treating each other, our customers, suppliers, shareholders, and community with fairness and respect.

From an intern's perspective:
"I've never worked in an environment like this before...all members are treated as equals, regardless of status."
       Justin Pawlicki, Engineering Intern, The HON Company
       University of Iowa

From a new member's perspective:
"The member culture is amazing. From the day I started I have felt like I was a part of the team. Along with starting a new job, especially your first job, comes a lot of questions.  Everyone was so friendly and eager to help."
       Brooke Kulper, Financial Analyst, Marketing Programs
       The HON Company

Rapid Continuous Improvement (RCI)

In order to build a strong business, HNI Corporation and Allsteel operate with an attitude of constructive discontent.  We're proud of our accomplishments, but we are always striving to improve.  Our Rapid Continuous Improvement (RCI) program is our way of conducting business.  It builds advancement and quality into everything we do.

From an intern's perspective:
"It's a really great job because you are working with teams that are dedicated to constantly making improvements for the company.  You really get to see your work pay off!"
       Rachel Chamley, Engineering Intern, Allsteel Distribution Center
       University of Iowa

From a new member's perspective:
"RCI is a great job to start out with at HNI.  It gives you the opportunity to see many different areas of the plant and company right off the bat.  It's a great way to quickly learn about the company while also being able to make improvements that really make a difference!"
       Ashlie Salkeld, RCI Engineer
       Allsteel Component Plant
