Noble Corporation

-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 time is wasted to complete the order, waste more warehouse supplies (boxes and tape) and shipper now havs to spend more time to find all the shipments, put them together and load them to the trucks. Customer instead of getting two skids of shipment, now he/she is  getting 10 bundles, 15 bags and 40 boxes of shipments. For sure customer is very happy for that.

-did some non sense stuff, built a cage to lock up all the RF scanners at one building, but the things is the cage never lock up, everyone has access to it and all pickers need to get battery for their RF scanner (note: battery chargers are located inside the cage)
Funny thing is no cage at another building and at the receiving area even those locations are dock with all scanners and batteries

-the person who gives out orders don't know what he is doing, orders need a forklift he will give it to the the person using a cart

-management keeps telling you to work safe, at the same time they expect you to pick more. If you could produce 100, next week they expect you you to produce 150, if you could make it then next day would become 200, never never satisfy.

-lots of unreasonable policies

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? 

A typical day at work would be using the Combi-Lift forklift to unload a minimum of 2 full 53' long trailers of 10, 12 and 21 feet long pipe. Completely everything required from checking the load to emailing the vendor that we have received your shipment. I learned a lot about different forklift use there. The Combi-Lift was a great experience to learn and drive as it is not as common as regular forklifts in a warehouse. Management could have been more product and employee focused. Examples would be: products left outside that are weather sensitive. Actually having the weekly or even monthly one on one reviews with employees that was told was supposed to happen. The workplace itself on a good day where thing flow is great. The hardest part would be when product comes early, late or unscheduled but driving the Combi-Lift to take care of balanced it out since gets the job done. It really is the most enjoyable part of the day, using the Combi.

The HVAC products manufactured by Noble Corp. are numerous. They give good training that enable workers to learn to operate machines/equipment safely. Worker's safety is given a high priority. Besides training on safety awareness; hand gloves, sleeves,aprons, safety shoes & eye glasses are provided free by the company. We produce high quality products through good management/supervisors & team effort of skilled workers and quality personnel.The hardest part of the job happens when  a bad material unintentionally mixed up on the line. The most enjoyable part of the job is when we exceed our production goal every single day.

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.

A typical day at Noble includes placing orders with customers via walk in, phone call, and email, and shipping and receiving inventory from different branches and vendors. In doing so, one will continue to strengthen their HVAC knowledge while developing relationships with customers and vendors. Management ensures that the workplace culture is very supportive/collaborative with goals outlined, providing a sense of direction and enjoyable working experience for its employees.

Branch Manager at Cambridge is a gem of a person. Very professional, patient and accommodating and knows how to guide and teach newcomers the right way of working and gaining knowledge of the company's products. He has tremendous knowledge of the entire gambit of products in the store and virtually everything is on his fingertips. Work environment is very balanced and they care for their employees if not temps as most of them retire here after joining. Hope this helps.

For the most part the job is straight forward. Deliver your truckload twice a day and then load your truck for the next morning. Long hours so not much time to yourself. The work environment is pretty much people hating on noble and their jobs in general which makes you unmotivated. Unorganized, addresses to deliver to were sometimes wrong and would take you out of your way. Overall it was just a place I didn’t want to expose myself to long term but it may be for you!

I've been with this company for many years and in the industry double that time,you learn from each other and gain experience that stays with you a lifetime.I highly recommend for any one starting a job here,to learn as much as you can when you can,you will be proud of your accomplicements and gain new friends.
