NIFCO

I worked for Nifco for a year ...( I also worked for them 10 years ago as a temp) ...this place has gone down hill ..office staff gets their family members hired , non stop drama amongst the management staff , high overturn on managers ( had 5 different team leads in one year) , lack of operators ( vacations and calls off are not covered , the work is then piled on the operators ) no team work , team leaders don't help when short staffed , I sometimes got a lunch break ( sometimes) , I ran upwards of 25+ presses for weeks on end ..I lost 42 lbs working for this company because I had to bust a** every night due to Nifco trying to save themselves a few bucks ..beware the grinders don't have safety switches and you will get shocked ! Very poor housekeeping in the cafeteria during Covid as well...there are so many negatives with this company , for the pay and lack of respect it's not worth it ..I lost 2 weeks of vacation time upon leaving this company because they are so short staffed I never got to use it ..overall I'm very upset that I turned down other job offers for this company and wasted a year of my time 

i started this company as a temp. i started and went in, i did hours of watching videos & talking to managers, learning what the plant was like, etc. then, they sent me out to start doing it. i was a machine operator, basically all i did was run a few machines at a time, and box the items, etc. it was very easy honestly. on my second day, i had a few problems with this guy that worked there also. but i had put it behind me, then on my second day, i told my manager that i had an appointment that day for my diabetes. they said that was fine & that i could leave at 10 that morning, ( i came in at 8,) so when 10 came around, i reminded them i was leaving. i went to the bathroom and heard HR say that they had a new temp that would be gone in a week after some guy came back from vacation. then, i left to my appointment. later that day, i received a call from them saying that i had been let go because i left without permission. it was all just so dumb. the pay was really good for the kind of work that it was, but most of the other machine operators cause problems and pick favorites between the temps. it’s definitely not a place that you could make a career. 

While working here as a temp in my first couple weeks there were no training associates to be seen and was just left in the background to learn on my own with little guidance. Once I was properly accustomed to the job in the beginning three weeks I was sent to train a shift lead’s nephew with no assistance from management. Aside from the issues from my first few weeks here the workplace environment became increasingly toxic as the different shifts grew to spite and undermine each other while management would make sure first shift appeared productive while corporate might come around while also leaving plenty of mistakes and unfinished work for the shifts following. My final remark would be that my supervisor at the time had an issue of trying to intimidate and curse at those who may have had issue with managements bias favoring a certain shift over the others as well as trying intimidate and use scare tactics in the event of an unavoidable absence.

I worked at Nifco for a year.
They could never get my pay correct. They would short me every week on my overtime and one week the payed the entire team for 12 out of 40 hours, but refused to cut a shortage check. None of us were paid until the following Friday. HR is a mess. They can not get anything done in a timely fashion and often they will not make time to meet with you. There is a good deal of people on off shifts that leave the property for hours and leave the work to those of us who are honest. Management either is oblivous or doesn't care. Many of these people leaving are in Supervisor roles. There is also a good deal of discrimination. It seems if you are not in the 'cool people club' than you are treated bad. I minded my own business and did my work, but since I wasn't buddy, buddy with certain people I was always picked on. It is good pay, but definately not worth the hassle.

worked there as a temp on 1st for about 5 months, they were good to me and told me quality not quantity which I figured was really good because alot of places are numbers numbers. No one on 1st EVER yelled at me over numbers and I had not one part come back on me. FINALLY got hired on and was told that I am a good employee and a hard worker only to get put on 3rd to constantly get HARASSED by the group lead about how I cant make numbers and how she wants me to just let things go. That the company we were making partS for "DOES NOT PAY FOR PERFECT PARTS."  She even went as far as to telling me one night that she would "rip the bun off my head" if I didnt do what was asked...very poor. Brought it up to HR and was told I have to stay on that shift but they would train me more. No thanks. Also there is no life/work balance, mandatory overtime without any days off for MONTHS. I have never worked for such a terrible company ever.

Great opportunity for advancement with every single job being posted internally for employees first before it gets posted on job boards.  They do a lot of promotions and allow employees to move after 6 months on your job.  Work load is up and down being in the automotive industry so sometimes you have overtime weekly but there are times you get none.  Recently have increased their pay and they do increases after your first 6 months.  Benefits are EXCELLENT!  Full coverage for less than $7 per week.  Most the jobs here are very easy but they can be repetitive, so it's good that they allow you to bid on other jobs every 6 months.

NIFCO was a fast paced job. My manager at the time had a very short fuse. When mistakes were made he would get very heated. The workdays were long and there was a lot of overtime. I was a temp, they offered me to be hired on through the company but I had just found out that I was pregnant and they told me if i had accepted the job that I would get fired for missing work because Maternity leave was not paid through the company until you had been there for some time. Also, there was no unpaid leave available so if I missed 7 days I would be fired. Would not recommend for those with feelings easily hurt or if you plan on expanding your family. Most days there was not down time, and I found it difficult to take lunch breaks because of the amount of work to be done.

If it is not focused specifically on work it does not happen.  The environment does not give very much room for actually enjoying your job.  So if you are looking for just a paycheck this is the place.  You come in and do your job and leave. All the jobs I experienced are pretty standard and laid out in details for you.  There is not a lot of "problem solving" needed.  If you work anywhere but on the production floor, you are all placed in a single room where all the desks are faced the same way.  It is pretty quiet even though there are 50+ people in the room.  Everyone can see what everyone else is doing and everyone can hear everything everyone is saying.  Management also seems pretty petty when it comes to things like cell phones and headphones and dress code.

Nifco has a good team of people that are all trying to get the job done, but the environment is very fast-paced and it takes focus to stay on top of everything.  Work-life balance is good for salaried employees, management discourages too much overtime.  For hourly employees it depends on the production situation, but they are actively trying to reduce mandatory overtime. 
I have heard complaints about pay, but from what I can tell the pay is fair based on the work.  There are other places where you might be able to get a higher salary, but job stress will go up accordingly.  Benefits are good, but I think that is standard for an automotive supplier.
