I was contracted out from newbold to work at a plant. I was a sanitation tech. My shift consisted of spraying and cleaning the machines used to manufacture and ship beverages.

The work itself was not hard. And my coworkers were ok. Most of the shift u worked independently. You were told what to do and were expected to do it.

The pay was terrible tho. They started everyone at 10 per hour, regardless of your experience. And pay raises were non existant. In the time working there. I made 10.50. It didnt matter that the turnover rate was high and i had to pick up the slack and was never given a raise or praise for going above and beyond my job.

Another thing is the fact that there is little to no communication from management to upper management. And little to no training for new hires. When i say no communication. I mean none.

There was no official employee handbook. So days off or paid time off was told to us the day of or not at all. Several times i came to the site and found it closed cause no one told us we were off.

Or we sanitation would come to work to an empty plant or locked plant. 

The management there treated us like step kids. They heaped tons of extra work on us. Often times it was things that weren't in our job descriptions. Newbold's management would not defend us, and instead, they pushed us to do as we were told. Although we didnt get paid any more for the extra work.

The turnover rate remained high for this reason. The pay didnt match with the duties. In reality, that job shouldve paid at least 12 or 13 per hour. But management didnt care nor did they seem to care about fixing the problem. Folks would apply, start working a d quit within a week.

They offered little to no benefits for the employees and the best thing about them is that they didnt take out for breaks. What u worked is what u got paid. There were designated breaks, although we worked 6 days a week and 6-7 hour shifts.

You worked 40 but got paid for 35. By right. That 6th day shouldve been overtime. But because we usually left by 5 after coming in at 10. It wasnt a typical 8 hour shift. We were encouraged to leave at 4 then gradually it became 5.

The training was a joke. It consisted of a whole bunch of guys we never saw again. Running around the plant scareaming over forklifts, machines running and other sounds. Trying to tell us what to do. You eete shown one thing but after the higher ups left. Our management pretty much let us adapt and do the job in what way we felt best.

After that, folks start quitting left and right and it became a revolving door with keeping help. People would get hired,sed what they ask of u. See the pay and wouldnt come back.

The HR is a bigger joke. They changed payroll companies at least 3 times while i worked there. Payroll would pay you for 40 and you worked 80

And it wasnt a few folks it was a mass error company wide that happened more than a few times. 

People that got paycard got their checks days late and so did those that had paper checks. When u called them, they wouldnt answer or they wouldnt call u back. It was like getting a law passed to get a call thru to them.

The job itself wasnt bad. Its monotonous but the best part was the friendships made with the ft folks at the plant. They were what kept me there as long as i was. They were some of the best.

Otherwise, if u need a quick hire and u need quick money. Newbold is the place. They hire anybody and as long as u can get to work. Youll have a job.

Otherwise,its nothing to brag about and its certainly not a job for someone trying to get ahead in life. Its a dead end position with little to no room for advancement. 

And its contract. The plant management could not be pleased and then if u expect newbold to fight for u. U can forget it.

Its best to work somewhere else

I’ve worked in both blue and white collar roles, and unfortunately, this was one of the most challenging job experiences I’ve had. My immediate supervisor and direct manager were outstanding; consistently boosting morale, encouraging a team-oriented environment, and even going out of pocket to offer small incentives for safety and performance. Their efforts made a tough job more bearable.

However, issues with upper management were a different story. Leadership at the site level felt distant and uninvolved. Over the course of a year, the site manager only addressed the staff once and rarely followed through on commitments, which affected team morale.

Compensation and workload were also significant concerns. The job involved far more responsibilities than outlined in the description, including tasks like escorting, fire watch, cleaning, event setup, and more, all for $13 an hour. New qualifications were required without any raise or incentive. Raises, bonuses, or even basic benefits were lacking. Health benefits only kick in after a year, and they aren't particularly competitive.

Staffing was also inadequate. With only 10 people total (including non-labor roles), maintaining a large site was extremely demanding. There were also inconsistencies in paid holidays and scheduling due to misalignment between the company and client site operations.

Training was intense and comprehensive, understandable given the setting, but many found the expectations too high for the compensation offered.

In short, this position may be a stepping stone for someone trying to enter the nuclear industry or a light commitment for a retiree, but for most, the workload and compensation are mismatched. I recommend carefully evaluating your goals and expectations before applying.

coming  7 am, do my safety huddle. encourage people to work safety and do their best, to love what they are doing. If I have any special request I make sure they understand customer expectations. Every day there is something that you learn, a better way to work or a better practice to minimize cost and increase effectiveness. I check my payroll cost daily to see if everything is OK with my budget. follow up with pending projects, 2 or 3 times per week I go to my contact here at the plant to see if everything is ok and if they have any request for us. 

My employees are very safety oriented, they know what is work as a team, are very careful with our resources and time wise we try to minimize time waste that is a extra cost for my company. 

The hardest part of my job is keeping low the turn over, get new people which imply new training and more safety risk especially in manufacturing environment.

the most enjoyable is the recognition of people when they say that you are a great asset to the company that you work with, knowing that you are giving your best and you can see it with successfully results and recognition. the best part is that people knows what you do and that you love and are proud of what you are doing.

This is a job that is for high school kids or older people who have nothing to do around the house, unless you want to be a manager.  Your vacation days accrue incredibly slow. The work is easy and doesn’t take up your entire shift unless they give you busy work that takes all of 30 minutes to do. Most days we were done working 3 hours into the shift with 4 hours left to kill, the factory workers are childish pigs that can and will run you over with no help from your management to say something about it.  .They prioritize the workers that do a lazy or half way job over the ones that actually try to do a good job. The job culture is toxic to say the least, no money, no compliments, and no chances to earn a raise, just an empty thank you that comes with nothing. Also you don’t get paid for holidays so you’ll just get a short check for that week which is awful. Don’t work here, it isn’t worth it unless you’re bored and want to make barely enough money to get by

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing this is the worst company to work for they have poor management and treat the employees like  trash. The district manager is shady and the whole company is shady. HR and the district manager literally lied about my situation I worked with them for 5 years the last year was the worst the turnover is ridiculous 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No teamwork no training no management you have to worry about your manager taking your hours away after you have came in to work payroll is messed up because the managers don’t know how to do the payroll 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unsafe and employees are always at each other’s throats 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I had to do my job as an admin clerk and also do the managers job management was never there when they were needed them

Did not receive supplies....had to pull out of pocket to supplement Associates for their tools and equipment. Did not receive first paycheck for three weeks because the DL did not submit my bank account. Did not receive any paid time off or benefits was offered a  supplemental health care program. It did not cover anyting. Never saw my district leader, and when I wanted to converse about the budget, he would always have something better to do,  and stop the conversation . He hired me in with a failing contract expected me to organize it, make a training program...which I did, and was promised a raise. The amount they lure you in on is $5,000 under what you will make. Run away....do not lose a good paying job with benefits to be lured into this. This contract was on a 30 day bail when he hired me.

No upper management help due to managers and accounts constantly changing and giving misleading information or direction, contracts go however the point of contact would like even if that person is the problem, no respect from HR as they go off of whatever your supervisor or managers opinions and feelings are vs policy’s or what’s right vs wrong. Just overall multiple issues within the structure of the company. I don’t see them expanding business more like declining such as several cleaning contracts were ended and closed while employed with them. I would not recommend unfortunately it’s more of a headache than a job or career.

Walk a mile from guard shack to our "breakroom/inventory room" just so you can clock in and walk the other direction to the area you clean, and walk 15 mins both ways for a 30 minute lunch you have to take and clock out for.
