Pros

Get 40 hours a week

Cons

Employed over 20 years and started to go downhill rapidly once the family started selling out their share of the company to the current CEO. "Chief People Officer"(whatever that is) is completely power hungry and makes sure the people hired below her is the same way. It's a fear environment and it has spread to every part of the company. There are some in management that has stayed a long time and made sure that long term employees were terminated, as long as it wasn't themselves. Company has a habit of buying out "smaller competitors" and then eliminating long time employees and replacing them with NIBCO "cronies". If the mafia is alive and well today in northern Indiana, then I'm sure there are ties to this organization. If the CEO and his wife could buy out some of the larger competitors, they would. But as long as the customers are smart, they will buy from the competitors. Better product and better customer service. The CEO and his wife rule as if they are king and queen of something, when in fact they are king and queen of nothing. Someday their "kingdom" will fall and they will be exposed. Their "legacy" as they put it will be the laughing stock of the world. Anyone who loyally follows them will fall right with them. NIBCO was founded on family values, but this generation of the family has rooted their evil claws deep within the organization and has destroyed those values.

Pros

Pay was decent. PTO was okay. In days past it was considered a great place to work...start there young, do your job well, and retire from there.

Cons

The worst thing about Nibco is upper management. Unlike days past, people are treated like disposable commodities. It has become ridiculously political, in the worst sense.

Poor upper management at Goshen

Pros

Hourly paid associates are good hard working people. Stock plan is excellent for investment.

Cons

Upper management at the Goshen doesn't have a clue how to treat their workers. demoting long time associates and cutting their pay. Bringing in new salaried staff and expecting lower paid staff to train them. Departments are understaffed because the plant manager refuses to increase the wages. Associates walking out without notice. Upper management doesn't realize they are the problem. They think lower management is not making them feel wanted.
