Pros

Fantastic Brand, still a lot of wonderful employees, dedicated US workers manufacturing quality products used in the rough construction flow control industry. Superb training ground with regards to US manufacturing, Lean enterprises, and Business Intelligence.

Cons

Certain influential individuals with regard to hiring/firing are not looked upon with favor. Dedicated professionals that disagree with how things are handled are terminated, fear is rampant about being dismissed on a whim or "for cause". The sales side has no direct leadership and is looked upon as an extravagant "expense". Employees with 7-10-15 or 20 years are as easily dismissed as a trainee since certain entities have taken control. A quick review of the number of changes in VP of sales, retirees, and long term employees that have been dismissed for any number of "reasons" clearly demonstrates what an entire industry talks about..one individual run amok. Most companies pour resources into new and emerging products...NIBCO lumps it on the shoulders of single overworked employees. Most companies treat long term employees with respect, new NIBCO lays them off after 25+ years before the end of the year to save an IT bonus when they were going to retire a few months later. It is so sad.

Pros

Strong, resilient, stable company focused on its core competencies while driving innovation. The company reputation is top drawer in the marketplace. Solid technical expertise in design for manufacturability and cost. No tangents in this line, the product is a strong, quality contender, with excellent marketing and reliability. Company quickly recognizes trends in quality and engineering and reacts appropriately. People are sharp, smart and know what they're doing, and the company recruits the same. Many advanced degrees here and industry certifications, people at the top of their game. Company is interested in developing associates, with strong focus on integrity and team work. People are recognized for meeting goals, innovation and continuous improvement. The top management team routinely interacts with the plants and the associates.

Cons

This company has very high expectations, you need to know that before you sign up and you need to be ready to step up, otherwise you will truly be left behind.
