Pros

If you are a "yes" man, then you can go far, at least until you are not needed.

Cons

Where to begin with this "company." Their employee surveys are a joke. They will tell you that they will listen to your concerns until it comes to pay or benefits, then your opinion does not matter so don't bother. Meetings are essentially an excuse to avoid work. Management had the brilliant idea to have a meeting to discuss why there are so many meetings. Do not look for any recognition if you do good work as you will only be looked at as making the other employees look bad in comparison. Management likes to use great buzz words to inspire employees but don't actually expect anyone to live up to what what they are saying. There really is no innovation with the company, management just really looks at what other companies are doing and decide to do the same thing whether it actually works or would be beneficial. The good thing would be if you are invested in the employee ownership program is that they will do whatever it takes to make sure that share price goes up whether it be firing people (which they have specifically said was to keep share prices from going down) or make sure to push out more work before the end of the quarter to make sure numbers are good. HR cannot answer questions when asked or give the run around when questioned. Still waiting for an answer to a questioned emailed to HR over a year ago. Essentially they will treat as just a resource until you have servered your purpose. If you question their laziness, they will do what they can to make your life more difficult rather than focusing on improving on their conditions or policies. Even their ability to respond to any criticism here is met with a "canned" response.

It is unfortunate to learn that you had a negative experience while working at Nosco. We take the opinions of current as well as former employees very seriously and I can assure you that this response is not "canned". We are proud of our culture of Employee Ownership and our employee recognition programs which include Annual Service Awards held at all 6 Nosco sites, a robust and well developed Apprentice Program, on the spot Encompass Excellence Awards, and local celebrations for safety, anniversaries, achievements, retirements, and other events. If you would like to discuss any of the above topics, or anything else you mentioned in your review feel free to call me at 847-360-4959. Jim McCarten People Operations Manager
