Pros
Wonderful family to work with. Left in 2010 and have kept in touch with several great employees. Watched and participated in the company growth between 2007-2010. Couldn't be prouder as they continue to grown. Good place to work.
Cons
Really none. If you do not like your employer, leave. I enjoyed the work and where they helped me grow. It helped me be the Organizational VP, I am today.
Advice to Management
Keep up the great family feeling.

Pros
They show employee appreciation with events quarterly. A lot of overtime. Opportunity to win car every year (if no safety issues throughout year)
Cons
Long hours standing on your feet. Hard to get quality people with good work ethic which makes your job harder and frustrating
Advice to Management
Weed out the employees that do not perform their job efficiently after their probation period is over, to make room for people that actually want to work and do a decent job.

Pros
Depending on your manager as well as your role, you might get the freedom to explore new skillsets otherwise training comes very seldom for corporate employees. If you’re interested in state of the art manufacturing equipments then this place is the one to work at.
Cons
There are so many, but the one that perish me the most is the fact that employees are considered as resources and machines are assets. This justifies Niagara’s way of treating their employees which is extremely poor. Top management has their goals to deliver in order to get their bonuses and in that process people are easily replaceable. The company DOES NOT pay competitively at all, and hard workers are almost always under appreciated.
The top management specially in IT lack updated knowledge of their job and therefore the companies IT structure dates back to the 90’s.
If you are a recent grad then try the company to build your resume and don’t get attached because it’s poison.Advice to Management
Stop putting people in wrong management roles and restructure your old fashioned “management trainings”. Become more proactive and rely less on quotes and theories, instead turn into knowledge and science of things even for HR! Take care of the people because when the company goes down it’s the people that holds the ship together. Strive for greatness not just being OK.

Pros
Niagara is a fast paced, innovative, risk-tolerant, and collaborative environment. You have the ability to bring new ideas to the table and shake up the industry. Although the company has grown so much over the past five years, it still maintains that family-owned culture. The work is challenging and things can change on a dime, but that keeps you on your toes and I have never felt a dull moment at work. I enjoy working with really smart, yet humble people. It's a relatively flat organization without too many levels and titles. The work that they entrust in every single person who works here is refreshing and motivates us to work equally to make an impact to the organization.
Cons
Things do move very quickly, and you'll have to learn how to adapt and be flexible with the changing needs of the business. If

Pros
Cheap water, occasionally free pizza, prizes, car giveaway every year.
Cons
Horrible management, horrible communication between the 4 different shifts, management not personally involved and knowing what's really going on, short staffed because of this people keep quitting.
Advice to Management
Really get to know your employees, gathering every shift in one room for a meeting every month would help out a lot. Be more fair with pay (raises) and incentives (recognition).

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Niagara Bottling full-time (More than a year)
Pros
the company, or better yet, my department was flexible with time and allowed you to work from home if needed. the coworkers at my level or lower were great to work with and a joy to support. they run the latest applications and throw money around, so you can get a lot of great skills to get your foot in the door at a better company.
Cons
leadership is lacking, and only supportive in theory. the only agenda is to put out fires, and to protect their bonuses. Turnover is high company wide, and is mostly ignored or presented falsely to the top brass. benefits are terrible, and investment into their employees is non existing. top levels are a boys club and team building is a frat drinking contest every time. expected to work long hours as they prefer to be understaffed. they have no real idea on how things work, and expect you to do it cheap, and to be happy about it. PAYS LOW, even at corporate.
Advice to Management
get new management!
