NIC Global

Fantastic place to work!! Variety of shifts offered depending on department, pay is great, benefits are good, and the company really does a lot for their employees! They have special events every quarter for their employees; Pelicans during the summer, coffee trucks, and lunch catered all free to the employees. Managment is the one who typically serves lunch and know nearly every employee by name. The overall average time people stay with NIC is 7 years. We have some employees who have been here for 25+ years and some who have been here just a short amount of time. They do fun celebrations for each holiday - Christmas being the best one out of all! They serve a full dinner and give prizes away to the employee everything from 75" TVs to Yeti cups. There is something for everyone! Management has always had an open door, and always willing to listen to any complaints i may have. 

Typical work days were 12 hour shifts. While at work I set-up and operated press brakes in order to form sheet metal to customer specifications. Forming only steel and aluminum parts that were to be used on tractor trailer trucks and dump trucks. Management done a fairly well job at running the company but not so much when it came to the opinion of and thoughts/ideas of employees. The hardest part of my job was the occasional difficult set-up that didn't want to comply to blueprint specifications. Also, sometimes running very large parts for 12 hours which would only be physically demanding. The most enjoyable part of the average work day was the machine set-ups. Which would often challenge my mind and make me think and troubleshoot.

NIC is a great place to start if you are just getting into the industry Nic only has one customer in the Denton Plant which is Peterbilt. so there are times when its super busy and then there is times when it is super slow. other than that its a nice place the management could use some tuning up  the production bosses are fantastic more times than not you will go to them more than management. And when you have been there as long time they start   trying to make you feel bad and  you'll end up quitting or getting fired. i have seen it

When its super busy you get plenty of OT and Saturday work so there are times  you can make a decent paycheck  i would  stay away from the medical benefits   the insurance is just horrendous

Work here is very repetitive, with very mundane tasks that will not showcase any knowledge, expertise or talent you may have. The area supervisors know very little about how to complete the tasks and are very little help. There is almost no chance of moving up in the company to a better position and no additional training.  If you have any ideas about how to improve a process it will be denied. There is very little incentive to do a good job with no reward for an individual, bonus is based on overall shop performance so if you try hard you will receive the same as someone with no effort. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
They truly care about employees who continuously and consistently perform to the standards expected, listen, and constantly work to improve conditions.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It is a physically and sometimes mentally demanding line of work. Not for the weak or lazy.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Goal oriented, as a company for for the individual. Can be difficult, but the rewards are proportionate to the effort.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Intense, fast paced, and constantly evolving. My ability to adapt, I.provise, and overcome is consistently challenged, but I love it and am compensated accordingly.

It's climate controlled and pretty clean the people I worked with were good skilled and team players. Management wants your input on things to do to make it better but don't do anything they lie about improving systems and fixtures and asked the welding department as a group what we needed to increase production in manuel aluminium welding we told them and after waiting 4 months they didn't get what we needed. Instead they bought another heavy industrial mig welder like we already had that was the wrong equipment for the job. If you're a older guy they start comparing you to guys who are much much younger and keep complaining about your production after you teach them how to do the work. 


What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing they don’t care about their employees and the plant manager is rude and doesn’t like women. Only thing good about it is the pay but that’s not worth what you have to go thru 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The point system and the plant manager on steam plant road 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The people you work with is nice and you become family and it’s hot when it’s hot outside and cold when it’s cold outside 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Walking in and wondering if my equipment is gonna work right today or not and worried about getting chewed out for your efficiency

I recently worked at nic global, and it was a really bad experience. I was laid off of my recent job and was picked up by nic global rather quickly. first month there was ok. but the following months after quickly changed my mind. really. DO NOT WORK HERE. I say that for your own sanity. management will continuously lie and manipulate to get what they want. I knew people who have gotten fired because management takes zero accountability for anything. rather than mitigate the problem and fix it. they will spend money and resources to point the finger, just so they don't get in trouble with their managers.

 I liked it for the most part it's just a lot of politics and craziness sometimes But everyone is fairly cool .. really the only part is that I've tried to get my friend up here multiple times and they denied him multiple times They took people without experience and he has experience and picked them over him  And they told me that we'll get your friend on but they never did  I don't know I just always thought that was leave it up here 

Overall I really enjoyed my time at NIC. The work can be very repetitive but if you're a good assembler you may get to move around to other assembly lines if you want. Some Supervisors are very overbearing and micro-manage about work they have never done or know nothing about. Numbers driven.
