Pros

It's a job that offers insurance.

Cons

Totally understaffed, work most of your days off. They say it's family oriented but the ONLY family benefitting is the Peykoffs. Don't believe all these reviews lately about how great management is and how you'll move up in the company, unless you "know" someone it's pretty much a dead end job. They pile on the responsibility without adequate training then condemn you for a mistake.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your experiences and points of view. We will have to agree to disagree though. There are literally hundreds of success stories of Niagara Bottling team members moving up within the organization through hard work and career planning. Our company would not be a market leader if not for the quality and dedication of our people, our #1 resource and competitive advantage. One core principle here at Niagara Bottling is that hard work and dedication payoff. That is following Mr. Peykoff's example when he founded Niagara Bottling over 50 years and will continue to be our mantra as we continue to grow and expand domestically and internationally.

Pros

Water sale, fresh fruit and most of the staff were ok.

Cons

Well where to begin there are so many, first and foremost compensation is lacking most salaries do not meet local or national standards. If you don't come in at a high salary your future increases will be disappointing since increase is based on a percentage of your current salary. When coming on board recruiting made big promises to get you in giving the impression that within first year you will get at least 2 more pay increases. HR loves to use the lateral move to get out of pay increases despite job duties being second tier skill set. Lots of staff get the carrot dangled in front of them. It's a shame it could be a great place to work if the politics nepotism and the owners treating staff as their personal staff would go away. Pointing fingers has to stop and leaders need to take accountability. Give staff money there are no year end nothing no bonuses for non-executive staff. It disheartening for staff to see exec in new cars new hand bags like people don't notice. What upper management and owners forget if it wasn't for the fact people need a job and will tolerate most anything because they have families not because they love their jobs. Just look at the track record high turn around inability to attract new staff speaks volumes it's too bad Niagara is deaf.

Pros

I was hired with no background. In this industry and was given a chance based on my education.

Cons

I worked here for nearly 2 years, put in a lot of hard work, covered for people during their absence, was very fast and efficient at my job and completed my everyday duties in much less time than my co workers and still had time to pick up their slack at times. I was rewarded for all this hard work and dedication when there came the one and only opportunity for advancement during my two years here and I was passed on. My job, with a higher pay and advanced title, was essentially given to someone else with no background in QA who had been with the company less than a year. My hard work meant nothing when it came time for advancement it all hinged on the formalities of an interview, we now have new people in management who can not effectively communicate with their peers and seem to deliberately go out of their way to be rude and dismissive since they were promoted. What great people you promoted!
