Pros

Good on site management Good place to learn and gain experience Good way to advance your skills and grow your resume.

Cons

Low Pay Poor benefits No advancement opportunities Novolex has a lot of problems and a few perks. Management in charge of bids, contracts, and pricing is competent, experienced and dedicated. Unfortunately, their hands are tied by senior management. They refuse to offer competitive pay, raises for experienced staff, or any career trajectory. There simply isn't anything to aim for. You will have the opportunity to take on different projects and grow your responsibilities, but this won't come with a bigger paycheck. As a result, the entire department turns over every two years on average as any valuable employees move on to other opportunities. This also results in a high level of frustration from the sales team and customers, as half the department is constantly in training. From a cultural perspective, the office is an absolute dungeon. There is no natural light, and the halogen fixtures are way too dim. While a sense of team and teamwork has existed in the past, high turnover makes this hard to maintain. Also expect to work 55 - 75 hours a week to keep up with your deadlines. There is no such thing as flex time or work from home.

Great Company to grow with

Pros

This is my first large company experience, and it seems like a very well-oiled machine in terms of on-boarding processes, and all the departments I have worked with so far seem to take ownership over their areas, and are actually excited to help each other. I've been very impressed how helpful people are, especially because of our size. I love the manufacturing mentality - from people on the ground in our plants, to people sitting behind a computer, everyone is very fast-paced and focused on continuous improvement.

Cons

I have worked for this company for 1.5 years, and I honestly have no real cons to share.
