Noble Corporation Job security & advancement reviews

A great company to work for, the people are amazing. However no raises in over 5 years :( not a lot of room to grow but you can move departments/switch up your role

Very productive and hectic but fun place to work...

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Concord - 6 November 2020

An excellent place to work if you are in the business of plumbing/heating/industrial wholesale. I didn't start seeing a paycheck until I started here compared to my former place of work and their competitor. The downside....extreme nepotism rules management here. Don't expect advancement / promotion as it will not even be posted (against the law) and will automatically be given to a managers friend/family member etc. Huge turnover in sales and management because of this tactic. Profit sharing is a joke. Payouts should be bare min 10K ea for sales as they are the ones hustling getting orders to keep the machine going. Company makes 400-600 mil per year. No excuse there. Don't take employees for granted. The grass is always greener on the other side when money talks. Is it worth losing quality staff only to replace 1 person with 3 underqualified people?

Pros

easy working atmosphere, casual dress code, lots of good people

Cons

extreme nepotism, too many managers/supervisors, profit sharing is too low versus what it should really be

Snitch culture encourages lying.

Pipeyard Associate (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 19 December 2019

Noble doesnt do pay increases unless your promoted.You are also always under a watchful eye. Two or three mistakes is all it takes to get fired from the company. The teamleads are a team of snitches, be advised. They will lie to managers about you if they dislike you. Noble pay is consistent. Keep work life and personal separate. Ive had teamleads look me up on Facebook. Its a very strict company. Although if you can keep to yourself, its a good job with consistent pay.

Working at Noble is one of a kind - many integrated teams who truly support each other along the way. Those looking to grow their careers can expect a business casual environment where they can receive a rewarding experience for their efforts.

Noble is one of the best places to work in the plumbing/hvac industry. There is a lot of opportunity for growth for those who seek it. Management recognizes effort and hard work. would recommend this company for anyone who wants to grow into a role.

A job, not a career

Operations Associate (Former Employee) - Concord, ON - 22 February 2018

8-4 Job. Very old fashioned business with a don't fix whats not broken attitude. Upper level of management sill holds a lot of nepotism and needs a lot of change. A lot of under educated people with too much power in decision making. Doesn't really invest in developing its employees or provide advancement opportunities. The associates in the warehouse are generally nice, but overall lacks ownership and understandably so. Their business analyst and operations team does have some on going projects that can be educational. A good place to develop skills and learn a business for a short term, but not a place for a career.

Good co-workers

Counter/Inside Sales (Current Employee) - Ottawa - 2 July 2015

Starting at Don Park LP, and moving into Noble during a fairly smooth transition allowed me to learn firsthand what it means to be a good HVAC distributor. I work with many employees who have knowledge and integrity in the way they do their job. Easily said, the best part of Noble are the people who make it what it is.

worst company I have ever work with. I want to rate this company with no star if i have a choice.

order picker (Current Employee) - Concord, ON - 17 June 2015

-warehouse is very dirty and dusty, products and shipments are everywhere -lack of warehouse supplies all the time, this week out of boxes, next week we are out of packing bags, then next month out of pallets. This kind of warehouse operation behaviour at some company your get fired long time ago, but all three shifts distribution managers are still working there nice and sound. -lack of warehouse equipments, forklifts and RF scanners are always short, funny thing is they keep hiring workers during the summer. -they don't really care how you pick your orders, all they care is orders are being picked and ready to go -every summer, noble hires whole bunch of students to help out in the warehouse, most of them have friend and family working at noble. They just fool around in the warehouse to get pay, nobody cares if they do the picking right or not because they go back to school on September anyway, can't really fire them because they have family members working at noble (protected) -unfair pay scale: student pickers get one pay rate, regular pickers get one pay rate and temporary workers from employment agencies get different pay -not salary increase for the last two years, never pay me sick days and vacation pay. -workers had accidents every year, dangerous warehouse to work at -some people get promoted very quick (like 4 months) and some people will never get promoted (like over 5 years) -some smartas* developed an order picking method called "zone pick" instead of 1 or 2 pickers to pick 1 order, now we have 4 to 6 pickers picking the same order, more -

Pros

very good playground for students (or anyone) to f*ck around with pay

Cons

way too many, can not list them all.

Noble is my first place of accounting work in Canada. I liked the work place culture and people here. The co-workers are very helpful and the manager is a good mentor who leads from the front
