Pros

Working for NB has been very Refreshing. The family atmosphere makes work enjoyable. Never have a issue taking time off for kids doctors appointment, school closings, etc. Everyone was created equal at our branch, from management, to drivers, or account mangers to isr, we all know we couldn't excel at our position without each other. All and all I am thankful for being a part of the Handy team.

Cons

Old School mind set with older employees, some people are just set in their way and haven't opened up to really being a part of the team.

We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying your time at NB Handy and that you enjoy the work atmosphere and flexibility. We greatly value work-life balance and it’s good to hear that your experience with your manager is supportive of the time you need to care for your children and other demands of daily life. The integrated team you mention is what makes this possible. Working as a cohesive team to fill in for each other when the need arises is how we all can thrive both at NB Handy, and at home. Regarding an “old school mindset” – that can be the case with people of any age. The world and consequently our company is changing at such an accelerated rate that resistance can be felt from time to time. We’re grateful that your positive outlook and contribution will perhaps help others embrace the adaptability needed for us to continue to excel. Keep up the good work! We’re grateful you are part of the NBH Team.

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.

It is our desire to give employees the opportunity for growth and development in ways that are mutually beneficial to the individual and company.
