Pros

There are some vary talented people that work at Nonin.

Cons

Nonin lacks leadership, from the owner, all the way down to the managers. Unfortunately the company has not been able to keep up with it competitors in the market. Most of the Engineering staff spends most of their time doing continuation work on old product lines (+10 old). Really no new products launch in the past 4 years. The company invest little into it employees or new products. The benefits are low, i.e. pay, profit sharing (less than 1% if at all), 401(k) 1%, and their medical is subpar. Most of the younger engineers only stay ~2 years and move on due to lack of interest in the company. Nonin shows no loyalty to it's long term employees, meaning they will terminate any one, at anytime, for what ever reason. I never understood their behavior, they have very high turn over to begin with. There were "layoffs" almost yearly when I was there. It would be hard for me to recommend working for this company to anyone I know. My advice would be to ask them hard question if you are considering taking a job with them, and understand that you may not be there long.

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. Focusing on our employees and our products is very important to us so I’m sorry to hear this was not your experience. We invest in our employees through internal trainings such our Leadership Development Program and encourage their pursuit to grow their skillset through tuition reimbursement and setting individual development goals with their manager. We benchmark our benefits and compensation package each year as it is critical to stay competitive with the market in order to continue to attract, retain and reward top talent.

Pros

The people are amazing. Production is a four day work week. Stepping stone company for new graduates. Sponsorship provided.

Cons

Lack of true leadership in management, with a focus on hitting financial targets rather than developing staff. Managers lack growth plans and understanding of team roles, so they can’t effectively support when understaffed. Directors are disconnected from daily operations and rely on uninformed managers, leading to skewed metrics focused only on “green” results instead of addressing real issues. Poor culture where managers discuss employees in meetings and with other managers. My direct manager was unhappy with my departure and attempted to use fear tactics, even texting me personally after I left.
