Pros

Very family oriented never have to worry about a work and home life balance. Competitive pay. 3 weeks vacation to start

Cons

Seems they would rather hire employees out side of the company for higher up positions rather than giving a current employee a chance

We are grateful to have you part of our Machinery team. Your job is invaluable in keeping both our customers and Steel Services Centers up and producing, so remaining your Preferred Choice as an employer is very important to us. Though it may seem that we sometimes hire from outside of NBH for “higher-up” positions, that’s a perception we’d like to correct on your behalf. You are encouraged to talk with your manager and Human Resources about your career goals so we can path you toward your aspirations. Our aim is always to match an open opportunity with the best skillset for the job, while simultaneously working internally to develop our employees toward their career goals. By letting us know exactly where you want to go can we help ensure that you are well-prepared to meet the challenge of an upcoming role, and we will do our best to facilitate your readiness. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for your feedback and years of service with us! We are truly fortunate to have so many great people working at Handy Distribution. When it comes to keeping benefit costs low, we work closely with a benefits consultant who reviews market data each year to ensure we offer the most competitive rates. We also offer two healthcare plan options, one of which is a Consumer Driven Healthcare Plan (CDHP). This plan design is a little different from our Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan and requires enrollment in a Health Savings Account (HSA), but it has lower premiums. In addition, we offer a wellness program where employees can receive a credit toward their healthcare premiums, providing preventive care services or activities are completed. Regarding advancement and promotional opportunities, this if often very competitive but we do our best to allow for upward mobility to all employees through succession planning or career pathing. Trust & Integrity is one of our key core values we adhere to. We lead with doing what’s right with honesty and transparency.

Thank you for providing these insights. We’re thrilled about the positive experiences that you’ve shared with us during your career journey so far. It is our desire to give employees the opportunity for growth and development in ways that are mutually beneficial to the individual and company. We also do our best to foster a culture that is welcoming for a wide range of demographics, in hopes of avoiding any sort of negative bias. We are fortunate to offer a flexible work schedule to employees that allows for both in office and remote settings. As we review and uphold telework policies, numerous factors are taken into considerations to support equitable practices, albeit concessions may be permitted for unique scenarios.
