Motivated and patient are the best ways to describe my work enviornment. The mamagement is willing and able to teach you something new every day as long as you are willing to ask. The culture is also m,otivated from the shop floor to the office workers to make the company stronger every day.

I work in the Operations department as an Operations Analyist. I work with every department in the building from shipping and production to customer service and procurement, everyone here works to the best of their ability. Since I have the privelage of working with so many people, I learn something new everyday.

Management is also readily avaliable and willing to teach you about their process. Some of the projects that arehanded out might be a little teadious, but it is clear that these tasks are given out to make everyone's lives easier.

The best part of my job is accomplishing long term goals. There is no better feeling than getting something off my plate that has been in the back of my mind for months.

The work itself is easy, there is no set break time, so you have to coordinate with coworkers to get a break. If you have a good coworker that's easy enough but if not you'll be doing most of the work yourself. 
Being trained is A crapshoot as the guy training you is just wants to move up. However there's no room to move up anymore so your stuck making the minimal wage the job offers and doing the hardest work. 
Messages are often misconstrued between management and supervisors. Leading to a conflicted workplace. 1st and second shift are constantly at war with each other. And coordination between the two is minimal. Some would say one shift would sabotage the other. 

If you need a job it's ok for awhile but it's not as good place to stay, as they advertise.

OK I loved the job i.e., not the people ran out asap the hours and pay are as follows 6 days a week 12 hours a day Dubble time is the overtime pay start pay is 18 if you work nights, it's a 2-buck increase. the managers are cool as it gets as long as you show up every day its the night crew they are crazy real fist fights broke out people saying who they scammed and who they would shoot if given the chance as well as the MANIGERS on the shift is family with the crazy's so not much to be done i took one look and within 3 week was thew like heck not i vanished if you're a prison person great place to work for you but for the commend folk PLEASE PLEASE DONT PICK THE NIGHT CREW YOU HAVE BEEN WORNED 

The Shipping Department Management is Unprofessional, Doesn't Treat Employees With Respect and Will Tell you That Everything is Your Job Description. The Lead Manager & His Assistant Are Absolutely Clueless about The Whole Operation, Inventory is All Mixed Up, Lot Numbers aren't in The System, Product is All Over & Nothing is Where it's Supposed to be. Fumed Silica Covers the Second Floor, Along with Bird Feces & Asbestos, On Top of Product & Other Boxes that Clog Aisle Ways. The Human Resources is Deceiving and You Won't Get your Quarterly Bonus or PTO, Which Will be 5hrs A Month. This is Laying Employees off for a Week ( Furloughs) Because of Overspending and Mismanagement.

A typical day consists of satisfying all customers order demands, while working in a very friendly environment. Working here has taught me the importance of having a system in place, being organized and having an upbeat attitude about things. The workplace culture is always what you make it so I make sure I am always in a positive spirit because it can easily influence the next person. Management here is very understanding and willing to help you out on pretty much anything, they care about you as a person far more than you as a worker. Hardest part of the job is trying to stay ahead, because in an instance your day can go from steady to busy. Best part of the job is really being rewarded and always being told how you are important.

All of the folks who at least knew how to keep the engine running were let go or left. Those who came on board knew nothing and learned nothing. No leadership whatsoever, and a toxic culture created by ownership and executive team. All of the "leaders" are too busy kissing ownership behind rather than actually leading their departments, people, themselves, etc. Imagine a high school where all the teachers flock to the principals office to kiss his/her behind and leave the students left to teach themselves, then get mad when they come back to the class room and wonder why they haven't taught themselves math yet. 

Novagard Solution is a fast paced Manufacturing and Distribution Center that offers a myriad of opportunities based on both your current skill set as well as your willingness to learn.  The Management Team has helped me to learn, grow and understand the Novagard way.  The Team on the Shop Floor is full of employees who are really trying to produce quality products and meet or exceed our customer requirements.  Working at Novagard does come with certain challenges but sometimes that is what is required to meet a customers' needs and we have the Team to make it happen, which can be quite rewarding.
