Pros

Good on site management Good place to learn and gain experience Good way to advance your skills and grow your resume.

Cons

Low Pay Poor benefits No advancement opportunities Novolex has a lot of problems and a few perks. Management in charge of bids, contracts, and pricing is competent, experienced and dedicated. Unfortunately, their hands are tied by senior management. They refuse to offer competitive pay, raises for experienced staff, or any career trajectory. There simply isn't anything to aim for. You will have the opportunity to take on different projects and grow your responsibilities, but this won't come with a bigger paycheck. As a result, the entire department turns over every two years on average as any valuable employees move on to other opportunities. This also results in a high level of frustration from the sales team and customers, as half the department is constantly in training. From a cultural perspective, the office is an absolute dungeon. There is no natural light, and the halogen fixtures are way too dim. While a sense of team and teamwork has existed in the past, high turnover makes this hard to maintain. Also expect to work 55 - 75 hours a week to keep up with your deadlines. There is no such thing as flex time or work from home.

Pros

Almost none. Good insurance but at the cost of your everlasting soul.

Cons

People mill. The reviews on here that are positive are BS posted by hilex managers. You can tell just by reading them that they are not genuine. Do not waste your time killing yourself for this terrible company unless you have no where else to go and even then I recommend not working for Hilex Novolex.

Pros

None...the ones who give their all to the job and the company get nothing in return but a paycheck that is half of what you worked because your time card ain't processed right and more work with no incentive: no raise, no bonus, nothing. Plant management sucks and they fired HR lady who was the best thing to happen there.

Cons

Low pay, too much expectation on the good employees and not enough for the sorry ones, promotions for people who don't deserve them and those who do are passed over and lied to
