TAYLOR—Working at Hancock Lumber has helped
me grow as a person. When there was an opening
for a promotion, everyone here on my team was
encouraging and motivated me to apply. Working here
has been a huge game-changer for my life and I really
appreciate all that Hancock Lumber has done for me.
2014–2023
CAIN—I started not knowing a thing about sawmills
and they’ve worked with me every step of the way.
The culture is extremely professional yet laid back,
and it’s a big shift in dynamic (that I hadn’t experienced
before) where your family life can come first.

ANDY—We all work as a team and we all are very interested in seeing Hancock Lumber be
successful. We are successful because of that Team Hancock philosophy that we have. Like
anything else, if you put the time in and you want to work, you can move on. It’s really up to
the individual. If they want to do a job that they’re not qualified for yet, they need to just work
towards that. Usually, in fact most of the time, that opportunity will be provided.

ABBY—When I came in, I’d never been in a manufacturing environment before. The people
here give you so much support. I started off with basic packaging and from there, I was able to
learn how to operate a forklift, get grade certified, help with mill inventory, and help with the
moulder line. Everyone here has your back—if you want to grow they are there to help you the
entire way. There are many opportunities here and the support system really helps motivate
you to grow as an employee.
