I have been working at NCH full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Certain (very few) departments allow flexibility with hours and flex time. There is also an on-site cafeteria during work hours.
Cons
Obvious favoritism by senior managers, salary not competitive to market, poor communication between management and workers. Expensive benefits.
Advice to Management
Survey the workforce to see true feelings and attitudes toward the company. Adjust compensation to meet the market or increase other benefits

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at NCH full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
- Very few if any. Some good people work there.
Cons
- Horrible management. They just complain about how their people don't work hard enough although everyone is answering emails at all hours of the night.
- Systems are incredibly dated. CIO made the comment that they hadn't put a lot of money into the systems for over 10 years. How does a company function like that?!?
- Pay is consistently 15%-20% below market value.
- 2 weeks of vacation for the first 5 years is absurd in todays market and competitive job pool.
- No maternity leave or no paternity leave. You have to go on FMLA for maternity leave. Really no paid leave at all.
- Workforce is aging rapidly. Too many times I was told "well this is how we've always done it". New thoughts and processes are encouraged.
- Everything is very sneaky and you always have to watch your back.
- You are lied to constantly by Sr Leadership who keep just saying "everything is ok" when the staff knows its not.
- Offices are old and dated. They do not encourage team events or have any culture at all. Everyone is constantly unhappy and complains. Turnover is extremely high.Advice to Management
Invest in your people. Try to make it a fun place to work. Focus on the younger generation. Stop being "YES" men to your CEO and the Family. Treat your employee with respect.

Pros
---Depending on your manager little micromanaging
---Depending on your "territory" you can make bank
---You are selling the BEST product on the market (PS it comes with the BEST price tag...but it is the BEST)
---I personally met some AMAZING clients and GREAT reps here....
---Work life balance is pretty great depending on your territory. It can be REALLY great one year/month or REALLY stressful.Cons
---NOT protected territories
---Your sister companies WILL and ARE encouraged to try to "steal" your clients
---They WILL flood your "territory" with reps
---This is a fight to the death company
---100% commission company
---They WILL NOT pay you your last paycheck when you leave!
---Upper Management, personally I think is pretty sleezy
---Upper Management thinks all reps are alike and are easily replaceable....PS
---I would have given -4 stars on Senior management and Culture and Values if I could haveAdvice to Management
Pay your reps what you truly owe them. Do the right thing! A sales rep is not a sales rep is not a sales rep is not a sales rep.... Unfortunately my ongoing lunches with my old clients tell me otherwise.... And PS you aren't the only great grease in the O&G business!!!
To be honest I don't think Mr Levy knows what goes on in half of some of divisions of his company. And I worked obviously in one of the lubrication companies.NCH 2017-04-26 06:26 PDTHelpful (2)
