Not what it seems to be

Pros

Overall, the people at the plant level are great to work with. Compensation salary wise is good and medical benefits are good.

Cons

The CEO says that as part of SPARK people are at the core. She likes to say this but they keep taking away special rewards, etc from the employees. Such as holiday parties, summer picnics, and various other awards. These were key in fostering a teem environment. The company also likes to preach that we are one nVent but when new databases are rolled out not all sites are represented and this results in having to limp along to get the job done, essentially adding manual steps which take more time to complete. Lay offs are common. It sends a bad message when you lay off floor staff and keep hiring upper leadership positions.

Working in a big fantasy

Pros

Steady paycheque, big company resources available.

Cons

Below average wage. nVent conglomerate buys up great brands and mismanages them to death. So the work environment is a bit futile. The direction is always changing so nothing gets finished. Employee innovation is not acknowledged.
