You will be forced to work your days off

ProsIt's a job but keep looking you can do better seriously

ConsPay only twice a month the 7th and 22nd, will con you out of your time and a half. Poor young management, none seasonal.

Not a very balanced work environment. Forced overtime and working scheduled days off.

Production Supervisor (Current Employee)
Dallas, TX (US)

I have been working at Niagara Bottling full-time for less than a year

ProsGood intensions for employee programs. Good bennifits.

ConsUnrealistic expectations of work load. Niagara has a regular practice of requiring overtime by scheduling employees on their days off. Interdepartmental infighting and the blame game takes priority over resolving problems. Push the problem down to the lowest level and then track these people out of the organization is status quo.

Advice to Senior ManagementDefine the culture you want to exemplify throughout the organization and enforce it through all levels. Don’t pretend to value the workforce if the employees are going to be treated like a necessary evil.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Good job, lousy pay and management! Corporate Greed!

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)
Mooresville, NC (US)

I have been working at Niagara Bottling full-time for more than a year

ProsGreat people(hourly employees), good learning experience. An awesome résumé builder. Fast paced environment and interesting process. Phenomenal safety awards. Involved with the community.

ConsManagement too busy e-mailing to see what is really going on. The ones who work the hardest get paid the least. Teamwork is minimal at best. Everyone's too busy pointing fingers than to address the issues. Very non-inspiring management skills plant wide. Not enough incentive to learn and grow.

Advice to Senior ManagementPlease, PLEASE get out of your office and conference rooms and out onto the floor, you may really be surprised at what you see. People are a lot different while sitting on the other side of your desk as compared to being under pressure in a working environment! Things are not always as they appear, OPEN YOUR EYES!!! Give more opportunities to employees from within.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Its a good company...... they just need to pay better!

Forklift Driver (Current Employee)
Ontario, CA (US)

I have been working at Niagara Bottling full-time for more than a year

ProsThe job security is very important to me an also the management is very friendly and helpful there is always an oportunity to move up so thats a plus..

ConsThe hourly pay can be alot better and for that I cant give a five star rating...

Advice to Senior ManagementThe hourly pay needs to be up along side the other top bottling companies. If the pay was as good as the other companies there would be alot more happy employees that would want to give an extra effort.

When will the corporate greed end?

Analyst (Current Employee)
Ontario, CA (US)

I have been working at Niagara Bottling

ProsThey say it is good place to work. who are they?

ConsThere is no work/life balance. you become a corporate slave.

Advice to Senior ManagementTo Andy Peykoff (as a human, not as a CEO): When it comes to compensation, the company is fixed and limited about it. But when it comes to employees, they are expected to put more hours than the stipulated 8 hours. Why? In all your conscience, is that fair? Why not pay by hourly rate and be fair so that they get paid for the amount of work they do?

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

ConsIt slows down in the winter months,it's hard to even get 40 hrs in the winter months.Management is out of touch with hourly employees.
