Most days are fairly routine regarding the task. They are differentiated only by the amount of work required by a task. I have been afforded the opportunity to learn several positions so that I could act as a back up. In addition to item code creation and processing returns from customers and to vendors: I also am able to act as a back up for the manufacturing shipping administrator and the manufacturing planner. I also act as a inter-company liaison between the equipment division and our home office sales support team in Irving, Texas. I like being able to perform multiple task. The hardest part of this job, or any job I've ever had, is not being able to help someone or complete a task. Learning new things is challenging but not hard. The most enjoyable part of my job is the people I work with.

This is a good company to work for if you need a steady income but don't want to commit to a career. You are given the tools and training to only get the job done. Do not expect the company to offer any advancement opportunities to you. You will have to do this on your own even if it means leaving the company. The company has great ideas and is going in the right direction but doesn't know how to implement these ideas correctly. If anyone from NCH is reading this you need to start listening to the 'boots on the ground' and talk with the people who sell your products everyday. If management is reading this I would suggest to be more active in seeing how your employees are doing in regards to their customers and accounts. Instead of checking in every few months and then micromanaging that same instance.

Laid back environment, management easy to talk to, good hours. No micromanaging as long as you're busy, usually you don't get rushed, however at times the workload was more than one could handle. Raises were okay-ish, but unfortunately were dictated by corporate. Middle management definitely cares about their employees, even if sometimes restricted by the corporate side of things. Two 15 minute breaks and an hour lunch, which is rare to see these days. Only big issue is that the yearly cost of living raise is merit-based, despite being for the increase in cost of living.

What is the best part of working at the company?
This company gives you the opportunity to make as much money as you want. Their training is excellent as is the on-going support. They are a leader in the field of water treatment. If you are willing to put in the effort, you will do well. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is nothing stressful about working here. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You will feel like you are a part of a big family.

A really good company to work for. My direct manager was great and supported me and pushed me to succeed. The manager above him was arrogant, ignorant and would screw anyone over to benefit himself. He will be retiring soon so that won't be an issue for long. They do spend a lot of time on training. If you work hard you will be payed well. This job isn't for everyone but if the job fits you this is a great place to work. You are on your own to make your own schedule and will sink or swim depending on what you are willing to put in. The schedule is also very flexible.

Chem-Aqua (an NCH Company) is a fantastic company to work for.  It is innovative, forward-thinking, and caring of its employees.  I literally look forward to coming to work EVERY SINGLE DAY.  I like and respect my colleagues immensely.  When people come to work here and find their fit, they stay for a long time.  It is not unusual to find people with 20, 30, 40 year tenures!  That doesn't mean the company is stale though.  Quite the opposite.  I would definitely give Chem-Aqua (and NCH) consideration.

I was a service tech / Manager for the state of Indiana. I kept two trucks busy traveling and keeping up with the demand of repairs at the same time I sold new jobs. Management was great always was a phone call away if you had a problem! I would have to say the hardest part of the job was doing sales forcasts but I did them and was not that far off for 4 years. This wasa a pilot division that I helped developed and now with 6 divisions across the country.

Do you like getting reprimanded but never appreciated?
Do you want a boss that cares nothing about you?
Do you like sucking mud from a cooling tower that also carries a disease called legionella?
Would you like to get hydrochloric acid on you on a daily basis? Really burns!! And your Sr. Service tech you work with laughs or gets mad if you take time to wear your PPE. If you even have any. 
Would you like to be gone from home 80-90% of the time when you were promised 20-30%?
Then this job is for you!!!
