Managers just sit around all day while others struggle. Others are mostly set out alone not knowing what to do and struggle to help customers or being productive because they have no idea and there are no supervisors to help. It’s hard to move up to management mostly because the hard workers are never seen or realized at the workplace. Even to become a delivery driver or anything they push you off or ignore your requests. There’s a lot of drama and stress along with yourself being frustrated and angry. I’ve been with the company for 2 years and saw no improvements, I seen around 15 people quit in a 2 month period due to a new manager. I only would recommend this job if you can’t find another job. I wouldn’t recommend being here for over a month though. 

This is a fast pace gotta start early and stay late job.  A typical day at work for my role related to pulling the orders loading g them on the delivery truck, a 25 foot curtain truck. And assigning the delivery drivers (2 of), their routes for the day. Then remaining in the large warehouse to receive product through out the day, help customers with will call pick up orders and maintain contact with the contract team (sales personnel at the 3 store locations), as well as maintaining contact with the yard boss. It was not abnormal to work 12 to 15 hours a day on an 8 hour scheduled day. Compansation was tremendous. Over loved the job, however I enjoy working. 

A typical day involves a brief huddle with your immediate supervisor and then you're off on your task list. When your supervisor recognizes skills you have and task you enjoy, you typically get assigned them to make work more satisfying and skill building. Management has your back and trust the judgement of experienced employees. The culture is perfect for the community and the personnel. The people are the best part, hands down. Customers can be frustrating but, as stated earlier, managment has your back.

Want a raise? You're better off pulling teeth from a gator. They want you to be hush hush about what you get paid because "you make more than the others"... But everyone gets paid the same, whether you've been there 5 days or 5 years. Management is terrible, intercompany communication is terrible, worst job culture I've experienced, every department is too busy throwing every other department under the bus to be helpful, and only the customers and profits matter, worker bees mean nothing. Make a small mistake? Expect to get chewed out and belittled by 3 or 4 different people throughout the next week.

I greatly appreciated my time at Kenyon Noble. Many days were stressful, but overall had the potential to be rewarding. There was a good sense of teamwork among the staff and usually if you needed help, help could be given. If you're thinking of applying, be the type that can work with little instruction and self motivate. Many positions have little oversight and require you to take charge and do what you see fit.

Enjoyed working with co-workers and local contractors. They reward employees for good safety but not always for hard work. Not a lot of room for advancement in company. It was locally owned and had a lot of great management that are very flexible. They were willing to work with me on making a schedule that worked with my home life. Overall it is a good place to work.

Kenyon Noble is as far from the corporate world as you can get. You are treated as a person and not a number. Family oriented and huge community partner. There are tons of advancement opportunities available as they have several different companies and locations. Overall, a great place to work!

Working here has helped me grow professionally & personally. The company is supportive and coworkers are amazing. I love that Kenyon Noble offers growth within the company to those that work for it. Overall a great place to work!

They treat you well and the people there are really nice. For me the job was all about who I worked with. Although they don't give very good benefits, it's somewhat difficult to advance (they put you where they like), and they don't pay very well. I admit I learned a lot from working here. Overall the job is good for someone looking for short term pay.

Overall a very good experience. The company does feel like a relatively large, albeit at times, dysfunctional family. That is to be expected in a fast paced company wit a lot of moving parts.
