Pros

Amazingly they make money. Nice facilities. Some excellent middle management people. Once had an excellent reputation and was viewed as a good place to work.

Cons

I worked at NIBCO for several years. Pre-CPO, this was a great company. Stable competent workforce and management, good benefits, good products, and I felt I was part of the team. Post-CPO, a complete disaster! Lengthy wage freezes, continual slashing of benefits and increased cost passed to employees, and when you seek medical care you have to pay an extremely high co-pay and then hope and pray that the insurance may cover something--benefits not consistent for each visit or for every employee. When you ask HR for help, you always get the same response; "Obviously the doctor didn't code it right". Many times the charge for the office visit is LESS than the co-pay; NIBCO has highest co-pay in Elkhart County. Not much opportunity for advancement if you are a male. Interesting only male workers at a director's level or higher have offices, but females at lower positions are assigned offices. Very sexist atmosphere. The extremely competent workforce have fled and been replaced by inexperience people who have good intentions but have no guidance or direction. The turnover rate is unbelievable. I will stop here as you can read the other reviews.

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.
