It is a very employee friendly environment with numerous resources to assist in being successful at any level.

Cons

NBH uses technical resources to keep you up to date on current sales and market conditions and in addition to communications from departments it can be overwhelming in some cases.

Pros

The Pros depend on where you are at. For the most part the corporate office is a great place to be. One owners always stops by to share a laugh and say hi. We as a team have figured out how to work among ourselves and not get on anybody's radar. I really enjoy the employees I get to work with at the office and the ones at the branches. They are some hard working people who want to do there fair share.

Cons

I have never been so embarrassed for an employee as when I read an email from his boss. The email said Effectively immediately _________ is no longer employed at NB Handy!. That was it, no thank you, no nothing except an exclamation mark at the end of his email. The guy that is no longer employed did a great job and was given an award for the great job he did for NB Handy. He was owed more that that sentence as a company wide email. We are supposed to be the preferred choice of our employees. You have a hard time convincing me of that at this moment. This is completely unacceptable and should not be how you treat good hard working dedicated people. You don't treat good people this way. I don't care whether you liked them or not. If they did their job and did it right which we know this person did you owe them better. You don't have a clue what it means to be the preferred employer if you treat your people this way.
