Micromanaging culture company - Anonymous employee Norchem Employee Review

Im the only custodian their so i get to clean the whole facility

I get to smell stinky chemicals

Norchem is a great company to work for overall! Work-life balance is excellent and the office is in a central location near DTLA. Strong points about working here are access to management and support for employee growth. There are many areas where you can take ownership over any process. As long as you prove yourself as a reliable person, autonomy is great here. However, you are expected to take initiative and own your position which can be challenging if you aren’t prepared. Management is always looking for ways to improve Norchem, be it process, workflow, culture, etc., and they are very responsive to new suggestions. Regarding favoritism for family members, this is simply not true. Most of Norchem’s senior employees who have been with the company for a long time are not relatives of the owners. Those who dedicate their time and energy to the company are treated like family.

Workload can be heavy at times and more employee training is needed for certain positions. There is very little margin for error so if you mess up, you have to own your mistake and work to improve. Those looking for a lax job to settle in and relax for 8 hours, do not bother working here. Only employees serious about working here end up staying in the long run.
