Pros

Pros? I guess the only pros I can think of is if you keep your head down, don't make waves, and don't upset "her" or her "people" you can make a mediocre existence.

Cons

Where to begin........ There is ZERO leadership at the plant level. General Managers live in constant fear for their jobs, and in constant t fear that "she" will send her hatchet man to their location to do an "investigation". I worked at NIBCO for six years, it was an absolute waste of my time. It did nothing for my professional development, in fact when most people see it on my resume they lift their eyebrow and ask how I managed to survive. I worked with some great people, some people who just focused on keeping their heads down and some real idiots. The culture of fear is real, and I have absolutely no doubt that the positive reviews on this site are from "her" and her people. If you doubt the reviews, look at how many jobs they have available, find someone who works there and speak to them. It's a truly sad situation.

Pros

I met a few great people there and got a pay check for a while.

Cons

Probably one of the worst jobs I've had. Cooperate doesn't care about you, HR only hires people related to them for the more sought after roles. The plant manager throws tantrums and refuses to handle issues. Most of Management is either too scared or too lazy to help with anything.
