Pros

They don't really care if you come in 5-10 minutes late. There is no real work drama. Depending on the floor at corporate office - you might have to listen to a woman micromanage her 20 year old son all day but just put your head phones in.

Cons

Its a boomer company with boomer ways. You would think with covid they would learn how valuable hard working employees are but it doesn't matter unless you a buyer. 2nd floor of corporate office. If you are in corporate office and not on the 2nd floor you are screwed. They are a cake and pizza reward type company instead of giving you things that could really help your life like the ability to work from home or better pay. That's for 2nd floor only. You only get recognized if you kiss butt. An employee was given Employee of the month and she had literally never replied to an email I had ever wrote her. Not one. I couldn't complete my job unless she completed her which included emailing me back. And when you go to your supervisor and say something the response is " That's just how she is" . You could also go to your supervisor and ask for help and they not have a clue how to help you and tell you to ask another team member. And the pay is not worth the hassle - again unless you are a buyer. You don't get paid enough to babysit grown men and women. The only other review I approve is the one that gave it 1 star. I am pretty sure someone in HR is posting the others. Any company that has to send out an email asking employees to vote in a survery stating that NB Handy is a great place to work is actually NOT a great place to work. If you have hit rock bottom and need a place to work - just to get you through hard time until you find some where permanent - NB Handy is it. But if you are looking for a place to work make great money and retire - I HIGHLY suggestion you find some where else to work.

NB Handy is a fast-growing company with a great culture. Our employees are the heartbeat of the company and it’s because of their hard work that NB Handy is winning. There has been significant change over the past six years, which has contributed to our outstanding success. As with many companies, the interest to work from home increased tremendously due to the COVID-19 pandemic. NB Handy accommodated several requests from employees but being in the distribution industry, we simply could not pivot our entire enterprise to being home-based and still service our customers and deliver products. We do not have an Employee of the Month award, so we’re confused about your “non-responsive team member” comment. Our managers are not expected to know every detail of the jobs within their departments, but they are devoted to getting all team members what they need to do their jobs successfully. Finally, it is not uncommon at all in our “review economy” for companies to ask their employees to post reviews about their work experience. Not everyone is aware of Glassdoor and our intent in making the request is simply to help others in their decision to join or not join the company, just as you have done here with your words. Not everyone has the same experience or perspective. We wish you luck in your new position.

Pros

N.B. Handy Company focuses more on employee's health, happiness, and growth than a standard corporation. The executives listen and try to make accommodations for hard working employees. The pay and benefits are highly competitive!

Cons

N.B. Handy Company is a fast growing company that comes with ongoing change. If you cannot embrace change easily, this could be hard.

We are always very pleased when we receive feedback that our culture drives the company. We’ve worked very diligently to create an environment within NB Handy where everyone is motivated to win. Our Leadership Team focuses on the health, happiness and growth of each individual within our company because we know the health, happiness and growth of the entire Enterprise depends on it! Our executives are always listening, and we have an open-door policy to welcome all of your ideas and concerns. If you prefer to provide anonymous feedback, our “You Share. We Care” survey is available, and every single question and comment is considered and responded to by management. We agree, the pace is fast and that can be hard. Be sure to speak to your manager if you are feeling overwhelmed. Also, take advantage of the Healthy Choice Portal for ideas regarding health and work-life balance and take advantage of our generous PTO program. We will take your consideration to have our teams review management to heart as we create our feedback methods for the coming year. Thank you for your contribution to our success.
