Opportunity For Growth

Our organization recognizes exceptional talent. We want our employees to stay and grow their careers at Nelson-Jameson so we strive to provide competitive development opportunities. At the time of hire, we create a custom training schedule for each employee including new hire orientation, hands-on training, departmental training, and self-study support to set employees up for success. Our goal is to engage employees through challenging and fulfilling work—rewarding those who succeed with compelling career and development opportunities, such as promotion, training, and tuition reimbursement.

If you don’t see an Open Position that is your dream job—you should know—we promote from within!

Collaborative Culture

NJ employs individuals throughout the United States. We have employees that work remotely, as well as from our Wisconsin, California, Idaho, Texas, and Pennsylvania locations. Employees are encouraged to share suggestions that will help our organization operate more efficiently, serve customers better, and improve the employee experience. 

Emphasis On Well-Being

We care about employee well-being holistically—be it physical, mental, social, financial, and beyond. This demonstration of care starts at the top through committed owners/management and strong corporate social responsibility principles. 

Employees have access to wellness initiatives, on-site flu shots, fitness centers, and financial education is supported. We offer all-company celebrations, fun social events, a relaxed dress code, company clothing reimbursement, Christmas gifts, and birthday/anniversary/retirement recognition. Nelson-Jameson strives to foster a positive and inclusive environment where diversity can flourish.

Family-Owned Organization

We have been a family business since the beginning, with owners who emphasize a company culture founded on the value of treating their employees like family in a relaxed, inviting work environment. We truly believe that a family-owned business brings out the best in everyone. Our employees know the upper management well and feel like they have a voice within the company. In many cases, this closeness translates to a passionate workforce comprised of people who genuinely enjoy coming to work.

Integral Part of the Food Industry

Our employees value being a part of the food supply chain, and take great pride in the fact that their work helps provide the world with safe, quality food. Nelson-Jameson represents over 850 vendors and distributes over 55,000 products in the broad categories of: Processing & Flow Control, Safety, Sanitation & Janitorial, Production & Material Handling, Building & Facility Maintenance, Laboratory & QA/QC, and Packaging & Ingredients.
