What Our Employees Are Saying

We Have Great Benefits
“I’m impressed with the health benefits that Norwest offers. Pricing to the employee is very reasonable, especially for a company this size. I’ve worked for other companies with thousands of employees and billions of dollars in revenue and Norwest is offering comparable or better pricing and coverage. I’ve also seen the health benefits offered by companies of similar size to Norwest, and there is no comparison there. It’s clear that Norwest cares about their people and prioritizes good benefits.”

-Jason M., Senior Project Manger

& Show It
"I've gotta say, the last time I worked for a company, it was so cut-throat and unforgiving, I ended up working independently for years, vowing never to put up with that again. The only thing that brought me back was, as an independent, the jobs were so small they were boring.

I've been here at Norwest for 6 months [...] and I've been treated better than I have my entire 20-year career in engineering.

This is a great team, and while I'm sure there will be challenges, I'm overwhelmed by the sheer decency and genuine interest the company fosters amongst its members."

-Johnathan L., Senior Electrical Designer
