Pros

its a job. nothing more good to say. There are good people in the company. Benefits and pay are marginally okay. Leader in the industry.

Cons

micromanaging at its best. shady HR staff that change policy without telling general employees. push hard for "lean" manufacturing disregarding human factor. under paid.. not even at level with national average. managed by the evil queen and bean counters.always telling "associates" that the outlook is not good but rub in your face how much money they made last quarter.

Pros

Strong name in the industry; Good line products; Opportunities for cross-functional promotions/opportunities; Quality employees with experience (15 years experience with NIBCO is common).

Cons

Very toxic HR department rampant with cronyism; CPO that makes the rules up as she goes along (with no ethics); Upper management is afraid to do almost anything of significance due to potential firing and pushback from CPO; Constant revisions to insurance/benefits for employees.

Pros

Decent pay, decent benefits but declined rapidly.

Cons

Upper management full of themselves. Big ego and would throw anyone "under the bus" to get ahead. NIBCO strives to make themselves look good to the public and community, but INSIDE it is a snake pit. HR very devious but continues to excel within the company. Big company that intimidates employees. Have witnessed management and HR break the law (i.e. alter forms). Take an employees signature from one form and paste it on a another, make a copy to try it make look like an employee signed it. Good an honest employees need to get out while they can or take drastic steps to protect themselves. Take video or record management in meetings. Then be prepared to back it up. I agree to some of these posts that you will be put on a "list". Chances are if you do not go along as a "yes" man or go along with managements games, then you are already on a "list". Best advice, don't waste your life and hard work to this company, they will strip it away from you and prosper off YOUR blood and YOUR sweat. A company like this will only prosper if people sit back and say nothing. One more thing...I agree that the CPO is a big problem, but someone along the line let it happen.
