Pros

Huge knowledge base! People know their stuff.

Cons

When it is time to make cuts for the sake of share price, senior leadership will look to cut employees with long tenure. Count on major changes every 6 months. Nothing will every be implemented long enough to determine impact. Senior leadership will change direction constantly for fear of being accountable of past decisions. Work/home life balance is terrible. Massive drop in employee survey results in last 5 years. Company is currently rudderless. Avoid especially if you are experienced, i.e. over 40.

Nosco Response

We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience at Nosco , but we appreciate the feedback. We have certainly undergone some recent changes at Nosco and are very excited about the future. Two of our most recent changes are the acquisition of Knight Packaging Group, Inc., and Gooding Company, Inc. These outstanding organizations and their committed employees are a welcome addition to the team. Our employee owners are really what make us special. We have many skilled senior employees in positions of management as well as highly skilled manufacturing positions. Over 40% of or workforce has been with Nosco for over 10 years and 17% have been with Nosco for over 20 years! Employee feedback is important to us which is why we conduct all employee surveys every 2 years. Our survey results and the follow up meetings that we conduct to review those results enable us to focus on areas that need improvement. Our most recent survey, taken in early January 2017, revealed several areas that we are currently focusing on improving as well as areas that we scored significantly better on than we did in the 2015 survey. Once again, thank you for your feedback and we wish you success in all of your future endeavors.
