Nosco

Mundane meeting about production numbers from the previous day and what the GOAL is for the day. 90% of  production management has no clue what the employees OWNERS actually do. The few that know are given most of the work to make up for the incompetence of the rest.  They are given unrealistic goals which at times include ignoring safety regulations and customer quality. Which is the reason so many people quit within hours of being there and others are forced to quit due to injuries. Some upper management abuse power and mistreat the employee OWNERS all the time including yelling, insulting and coarsening. There’s no room for individualism, you only get ahead by being a “yes” man. The hardest part of the job is being micromanaged by people who don’t know what it is that you do. The production floor is the most enjoyable part of the job because the people that stay are amazing and hardworking. Can’t blame the company, they want to stay in business so they have to make the pharmaceutical company happy at all cost, even advertising their products to its employees with videos and brochures. Instead of giving them fair wages. This review will get a generic A.I. generated answer ending in” contact Peoples Operations” which are great people by the way, but do not protect the rights of the workers but rather the prestige of the company. Nosco used to be a great place to work but not anymore and the way it’s moving I don’t see success in their future. Needs a major overhaul. 

Nosco is an employee-owned company and has a clear company vision. Nosco is not perfect, but what company is. The difference is that Nosco cares. The people at Nosco are gold – they really make all the difference. People at all levels in the organization are supportive and encouraging and truly want to see people succeed. As an employee, I like to be challenged in my work and I’ve found that at Nosco. I’ve had the opportunity to work hard and advance in various roles which feeds my personal career development goals while also contributing to company goals. Despite challenging work, I feel supported and appreciated by management. Through Nosco I have been introduced to mentors through the mentorship program that have been invaluable as I develop in my career. Nosco has a solid and transparent leadership team – I have seen great improvement in the level of communication to employees in recent years, a result of feedback received from employee surveys. I’m proud to work for Nosco and excited to see the company continue to grow and develop in the years to come. 

Nosco is a great, employee owned company that treats employees well. You are not just a number here, you are part of a growing family! If you want to work for a company that cares about you and will help you grow, then Nosco is the place for you. Employees with drive, ambition and initiative will have plenty of opportunities to grow. There are postings for opening all the time and the company is willing to help employees develop if they speak up and express themselves. This is a good, stable company with morals and ethics. The products produced here help save lives and make you feel good about the work you do everyday. They are investing in new equipment, facilities, training and employee benefits. There are many employees who work their entire careers here for a reason. Being an ESOP with all employees being owners through profit sharing paid out in company stock their first year is a great benefit! This helps create a collaborative culture so everyone benefits from growth. You won't regret working at Nosco.

Typical day at work included structural design, multi-panel labels and labels, providing internal and external customers core and custom 1:1 packaging development for this product line that meet or exceed fit, form, and function requirements.  All engineering activities related to Nosco multi-panel labels product lines and process, including the development fo new products / services, process improvements, R&D testing, and supporting Lean Manufacturing initiatives.
Managed existing customer accounts in the territory of Puerto Rico related to service or quality.  Manged the laboratory services for internal and external customers, testing of materials and packaging components.  By wearing these hats this was the most enjoyable part of the job.

They never pay me what I was supposed to get I’m over here think I’m getting $2 more to my check but instead they decided to pay me .50 cent from everything I was doing from jogging/ inspector to learning how trim the paper learning how to print the paper learning the ink keys what type of ink they have to use they just used me to work hard but the pay didn’t go up plus then they decided what days you coming even thou you tell them you can’t coming that day they still expect you to come to work literally so many people complaint about the management not the work itself was pretty cool but then when the manager started to change somewhere else everything start to be different they are and we’re working me like a dog running around and i would tell yall have to check that company out cause the management is a different story

Equipment is being held together by duct tape and hope.  They don't want to put the time and money into fixing what needs to be done in order to make the work easier for employees.  They would rather paint walls and buy pool tables for the new building and forget about the others.  Management is a joke.  You only get promoted if you have no experience in the department.  If you are good at your job you are stuck there forever.  When you apply for a new spot its a waste of time because they already know who they will fill it with.  Lot of overtime because they don't cross train or run things properly so its always playing catch up because nobody is held accountable for sucking at their job.

This company tends to hire people with no previous experience. I feel that they would rather groom than hire for experience, Especially if they have family members working for the company. These people seem to get promoted while the experienced people get leaned on to provide the production muscle. This has caused many employees to leave this company for fear that they will be overlooked. This has since soured my taste for this company. Since the company went from 12 hr rotating shifts to an every day 8 hr shift. Unqualified leads have been let to run shifts without consequence and professionalism.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Employee owned, good benefits,  relaxed atmosphere.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Amount of detail required in printing pharmaceutical labels.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very personable, almost like a family.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Running a narrow -web flexo label press, varying counts.  Might be on the same run all night, might have several changeovers during the shift.

Management is a mix, some of them are good while others aren’t especially upper management. Leads and some depart heads were nice and encouraging but the people above them were pleasant enough but they were quick to put blame on others and ask for imposible or unrealistic requests due to not understanding the production aspect. 

The hardest part of the job was dealing with defects on products on off shifts hours due to the lack of proper support. 

Its a big company, many different roles and hard to say what a typical day is for all employees, wide range of jobs.  Onsite lunchroom is nice.  We built a beautiful new facility to work in.  Its very clean and professional.  We bought the best equipment and hardware.  Quality of work is very good.  Highest professional standards are followed.  If you are lucky enough to get hired at Nosco, its a goal state for you.  Fantastic CEO, President, and leadership team to work in.  I was very proud to work there.
