nyse:nwl https://www.indeed.com/cmp/newell-brands/reviews Oct 27th, 2022 12:00AM Open Open Open Newell Brands Plant Manager Waynesboro, MS USA 1 star What is the best part of working at the company? Paid well. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Unobtainable material cost Goals in a volatile environment. Expected you to reach goals by make cuts in critical personnel. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Corporate driven, by high turnover personnel with no real vision or knowledge of product. Very woke, forced experimental vaccine. Expect 30% profit margin, cut plants to the bone, no real cuts at corporate structure. They would rather just buy everthing from China and make 30% profit. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Listless, waiting for corporate to make unexpected decisions. 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 Oct 28th, 2022 10:00AM Oct 28th, 2022 10:00AM Newell Brand Consumer Goods Household Goods
nyse:nwl https://www.indeed.com/cmp/newell-brands/reviews Oct 21st, 2022 12:00AM Open Open Open Newell Brands IT Manager Atlanta, GA USA Cultural issues I have worked at Newell a long time. We've had good, long term upper management in our area, but overall it has been a churn of high level executives and leadership. Newell is constantly reorganizing under new leadership. It depends on what area you work in to sway your opinion on life at Newell. I have had a good overall life at Newell, but it is not the same everywhere. Excellent benefits plan, can have a long career at Newell if you choose to. Pay does not match the market. 0.0 0.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 3.0 2.0 3.0 Oct 22nd, 2022 10:36AM Oct 22nd, 2022 10:36AM Newell Brand Consumer Goods Household Goods

They do not care about your health, do not care if an emergent situation comes up, if you do not fit their standards, they will treat you like pure garbage. You will work 7 days a week, 10 hour shifts if they choose to all because of what they distribute and the high volume. NOT worth it. I wouldn’t go back to that job even if i had no other options. 0.0 0.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 Oct 19th, 2022 10:59AM Oct 19th, 2022 10:59AM Newell Brand Consumer Goods Household Goods

nyse:nwl https://www.indeed.com/cmp/newell-brands/reviews Sep 30th, 2022 12:00AM Open Open Open Newell Brands Mold Technician Winchester, VA USA Don't Do It! TLDR: Overall this is really just a horrible place to work steer clear! I strongly encourage you to look elsewhere before accepting a factory hourly job here. You'll follow the 2-2-3 schedule but the expectation is that you work at least one or two of your days off. The majority of the "operators" don't speak english. No growth opportunity or internal advancement. Even if you have a degree they'll wind up going with an outside hire. When I started working here as a Technician others techs at the time were rude, abrasive, and inconsiderate. Their training methods were  contemptible. I never worked in the plastics industry before so I could only go based off my previous manufacturing experience. Technicians were arrogant and reluctant to help. Trying to get an explanation out of them to help myself better conceptualize the processes proved difficult. There was never a day without bad attitudes or snide remarks even when trying to help someone out they were ungrateful. I tried to distance myself from the toxicity even switching shifts and departments but you can't escape it. Pushing back or standing your ground only feeds their ego and gives them opportunity to flip the script and declare victimization. Don't be fooled by the advertised pay either because that's with shift differential that's not your base pay and is subject to change same goes for the gainshare bonus which they rarely give. The hourly pay scales with experience but trying to get mid or top pay has road blocks so no matter how hard you work it will prove fruitless in the end due to skill block waiting periods. Supervisors are not supportive of your goals and do not care about work life balance. They only give half a days notice for forced overtime which can lead to saftey concerns because you're already fatigued and walking in to a fast paced environment where the floor is covered with grease, water, and oil. They hired oil reclamation techs but despite their best efforts there's still slip, trip, and fall hazards throughout the entire plant. Their solution is a boot reimbursement program for proper non-slip footwear instead of replacing hoses & fittings, buying seal kits, gaskets, o-rings and valve rebuild kits. It's absolutely ridiculous considering their maintenance team is sitting on their behinds watching YouTube waiting for their phone to ring when there's an issue. There's so much dead weight you'll find yourself doing all the work just to keep things running and everyone else will let you while they sit on their phones or smoke...ignoring red lights and radio calls. If you ever raised concern about saftey or failure to adhere to policy or procedure (SOP) you were deemed a troublemaker for pestering leadership, regardless it would fall on deaf ears and nothing would be done about whatever it was you were bringing to their attention. There's so many changes in management it's hard to keep up and no direct line of communication. You're told to report it to your supervisor but it never goes above that unless you did something wrong. HR is a joke for several months they were no where to be found under the guise of health and saftey covid 19 protocols. Even when you could find one of them in the office they would direct you back to your supervisor or the askHR portal because they just can't be bothered despite an open door policy. Vacation policy is a joke for the first two years you get a few hours earned every month untill you're eventually able to use it all around December of each year. If you borrow against it you'll have to pay it all back if they decide to terminate you for whatever reason like attendance. Not enough sick days and no earned PTO system like other companies. There's zero chance for advancement...you could spend years working diligently and catering to their every whim and they'll wind up going with an outside hire who has no experience or familiarity with the process but has a degree. Overall this is really just a horrible place to work steer clear! I strongly encourage you to look elsewhere before accepting a factory hourly job here. 0.0 0.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 4.0 1.0 Oct 4th, 2022 09:05AM Oct 4th, 2022 09:05AM Newell Brand Consumer Goods Household Goods
