Pay not great. Regionally this is a issue for most companies so Nahan is no different, but entry level pay is quite low and getting a raise is a very slow and tedious thing, if it can be done at all. The folks who were there during 2008 economic crash are still waiting to get back the 30% the company took from them in pay cuts.
Benefits very basic. They tout their health insurance as being better than most but it's actually subpar when comparing to other local companies and statewide. I think Nahan's free clinic that is separate from insurance gets many to believe it's a good healthcare package, but they are two totally different things and my experience with using the free clinic was a negative one as they are very limited to the help they can give. They mostly just refer.
Employee reviews are a joke. They have adopted a socialist review system where in many categories everyone gets the same score no matter how well you performed individually.
They make you reapply for health coverage but automatically enroll you in 401k. Shouldn't that be the other way around?
The software they use for shipping while not complicated is time consuming and not the easiest to navigate, maybe if I was trained for more then a few hours I would of ran it better.
I had safety concerns with both the quality of equipment and their recycling baler room. The maintenance of their forklifts was acceptable at best but that's unacceptable for a company that puts safety first. Numerous times our lifts had issues and we'd wait days, weeks, even months for proper repairs. Some lifts were never repaired. Maintenance dept did what they could but company refused to invest much into lifts. Their recycling bale room which puts out about 50k-100k lbs. a day was not properly vented nor did any of the 3 balers work well consistently. They refused to upgrade and only provided basic store bought breathing masks.
They hire unqualified people at times and their training procedures are horrible. When we needed a rabbit they hired a turtle and the workloads all fell back onto the few who pulled their own weight. We rarely got help from outide the warehouse I and II positions, a lot of folks within our dept did a lot of nothing IMO. And some were superstars.
Our manager got nothing done for our department and HR was conniving and hostile at times. Company still owes me about 400 bucks I'll never see.
Work/life balance a 1 out of 10.
I just couldn't take it anymore, more stressed and angry then ever, and I've done much tougher work most of my life. The combination of everything there was just to much, not worth it.
