Pros

Overall, the people at the plant level are great to work with. Compensation salary wise is good and medical benefits are good.

Cons

The CEO says that as part of SPARK people are at the core. She likes to say this but they keep taking away special rewards, etc from the employees. Such as holiday parties, summer picnics, and various other awards. These were key in fostering a teem environment. The company also likes to preach that we are one nVent but when new databases are rolled out not all sites are represented and this results in having to limp along to get the job done, essentially adding manual steps which take more time to complete. Lay offs are common. It sends a bad message when you lay off floor staff and keep hiring upper leadership positions.

Pros

I had a great onboarding experience - my manager was very prepared with a clear and useful onboarding plan. The people have been very welcoming and the company culture is great.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly, which presents natural challenges - but the overall experience has been very positive.

Pros

Great place to work. Very considerate of actual career and life experience rather than focusing on having a degree. Management really cares about your success personally and professionally. Top-notch focus on career development. Cohesive, cooperative teams. Fair base pay for experience, good health benefits, and decent flexibility.

Cons

Your experience will be deeply influenced by which location you work at and position you work in. The company has a good framework for inclusion but in reality there are unchecked local employees who make it very uncomfortable if you can't pass for right wing. Raises are inconsistent and don't seem to be determined by performance ratings. Despite having a good review every cycle, I haven't seen so much as a cost of living adjustment post - promotion.
