NIBCO INC.

SALES - Bonus system is misleading at hire.  Sales figures are incorrect.  Sales figures can be found in three different systems that are inconsistent and wrong.  Quarterly bonuses are paid ridiculously late.  Sales goals are dictated halfway through the current selling year.  Sales associates are saddled with administrative duties that prevent them from selling.  The company implemented a flawed, useless and cumbersome CRM system that consumes a tremendous amount of time.  Mid Level to Senior Management are disconnected with the field sales team and customers. A dysfunctional HR Department runs the organization.  Politics and cliques rule in this company.  Division and Regional Managers have no control or courage... due to the fear of being terminated.  The company dictates with fear and threats.  No collaboration or teamwork with corporate employees/management.  Turnover in sales is extremely high.  From what I know, this company took care of the sales people and compensated them fairly many years ago.  Turnover was low.  Not the case anymore.  The company fosters mediocrity rather than excellence.

A typical day at work is everyone wanders in like mindless drones. For eight hours, most of them will stand at a machine, experiencing little stimulation aside from the active deterioration of their knee joints. Everything will break all the time due to half-century old equipment that will never be replaced. Management will smile and talk to you like a child while they're imagining how best they can make your life harder. You're not allowed to sit, talk, or do any less work than a million dollar machine would, but you won't get paid that much. You'll do this for 60 years or so, and management will grill you an annual sausage to say thanks while they're raking in massive bonuses. You always have to do overtime before a holiday.

Benefits are the highest I've ever paid Bi-Weekly, worst inconvenient expensive coverage known of. 
On the lines of a slave factory, not appreciated,  favoritism, very low pay for the physical requirements.
Unprofessional team leads.
Poor training and support.
Point system makes it impossible to incorporate family life/emergencies.  Not a family oriented workplace.
Management focus on small things more than handling known issues.
Need structure, professionalism,  fairness, team work, and more management training put in place.
Managers need to start giving a helping hand to get a understanding of what it takes to perform what is requested of employees on a 12 hour shift to guide them on how to make appropriate decisions, changes and suggestions when passing down changes and memos to your leads.
Dear Mamagement: your company's success Starts with management, ends with employees;  employees are what builds your business, they are not beneath you but shoulder to shoulder with you without them you would not hold your position.

Nibco is full of themselves. They are a fundamentally flawed company, who just buys competition when they have any. The management is a good ol boy system, and not picked based on merit, or intelligence. If you drink, play golf, and went to highschool with anyone in upper management, you're automatically promoted to a manager. If you're educated, know your job, and understand how to properly do your things, you'll get ignored, overlooked, and hated. The culture is one of the most toxic cultures I've ever been a part of, and they don't care about your home life. They will bother you at all hours of the night, and even on vacation. With as many meetings they have during the day, the phrase "the need for meetings shows your inability to work as a team" is accurate. There is no teamwork here, and with 5+ meetings a day, there's no way to get stuff done. 

Overall was a good job in the aspect of you know your job or task and once you go to work there is no one breathing down on your neck from management, no job is overly complex or hard to perform. Management seems checked out however if there is a problem with worn out equipment or if your department is understaffed. The good was if you had a question about a quality issue there were plenty of resources to get an answer and your input was welcome. Pay was rewarding for jobs assigned. It was a job where if you went to work to keep yourself busy and do your best that was fine and they would pile extra work on you, however if you just showed up late or had bad attendance or gave 10% that was fine too. HR was a joke ! 

The work is extremely tough. The management doesn't spend the time to ensure that the equipment is safe to work around and are completely ignorant about this issue. There is hydraulic oil all over the place and a lack of organization.  You will have to climb all over machinery with your oily boots. You will spend hours looking for parts that aren't labeled but yet you will be written up if you use the wrong ones. The people are very hateful of one another and really don't want to help. If you are reported for anything, the management will interview people for ANYTHING that you may have done or said that may have been deemed inappropriate. This is a place where nightmares are created.

Day were 10 hrs and started at 5.usually started with morning meeting on production, orders and safety,with safety being main focal point.I've learned how to be a people person.also I felt mgmt. was pretty good and address all concerns as quickly as possible.. As in any place that I venture everyday I feel it's my best interest to know everybody there,so I personally knew all 189 employees of NIBCO. The hardest part of nibco was policy changes..when they implemented them without giving you a heads up.the most enjoyable part of NIBCO was being able to work unsupervised..they trusted you and gave you the chance to prove yourself.

a typical day at work at nibco inc started daily exercises because it is a physically demanding job.Then you would cleaned assigned aisles.you then would receive your daily orders that you would need to fill for both domestic and international orders.I became a licensed forktruck operator and learned to use wms to ensure a perfect order.There is only 30 or so employees on two shifts combined but there has been alot of people in and out due to mingling employees and poor management. The hardest part of this job was listening to everyone say how it was a great team effort when they depended heavily on 5 or 6 people to meet demands of the orders.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It's a good company to work for if you are a student needing money for college, etc. Good benefits and atmosphere 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting up in the morning, for the shifts start at five in the morning  and the driving to the company and driving back 


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is good 👍, all depends on the individual, other than that it's a good work environment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Actually all days are good, management works well with you in any issues you may have concerning your work,depending on the character of the employee

A typical day at work started with a safety meeting. We would learn from our meeting on issues that happened throughout the day and the management / business priorities. Once the team assembled in their departments we would get a game plan. This would help us make it through breaks and lunches which is the hardest part of the production day. Our game plan would usually change throughout the course of the day so communication is key. Through communication our priorities would safely be achieved  thus making this another enjoyable day through great teamwork effort. Having a good team can make the time and work here more enjoyable. Not having a good team has the opposite effect and our team understands these values.
