NW Service Enterprises, Inc. Professional Assembly

All the earnings from the items you will make during your training will be given to your trainor. At this time, your salary is hourly but once you are done with work, you will be asked to go home, even if it has only been 3 hours. This will go on for 15 working days or more. Once you are done with training and already on your own, they will assign you to branches either with few items to assemble or items that are cheap but time-costly to make. You will even be assigned to a branch where there isn’t even a single item to assemble (watch out for this area manager/scheduler of las vegas NV). Your salary from being a trainee will be small but the truth is, it will actually be much higher than as a regular. You can’t even pay rent with a $20-50 earning from 8 hours worth of work, not to mention the long travel and gas. 

I’m not a slow worker. I can assemble 3 large similar items in 1 hour once I’m familiar working with it. I was in fact faster than my trainors when I was still training. I made 9 items in 1 work day (all items are a first time encounter and each one different, some even with electronics involved) and made sure not to leave out any item for assembly the store had to offer and yet I only made $120 max. Makes you wonder how your seniors can make a living out of this job and how come when you were a trainee there were numerous items to assemble but none left now that you’re a regular. My theory is, they assign the good branches with higher priced items to assemble to the senior/ pioneer employees and give them trainees so they can sustain at least $150-300 earnings per day, in turn depriving the new regular employees of adequate earnings. They will not be able to keep up with this and will eventually quit. So new trainees will be hired again, and the cycle goes on.

I recently accepted a position with [Company Name], but unfortunately, my experience during the onboarding process led me to withdraw my acceptance. While I appreciate the opportunity, there were several aspects that I found unprofessional.

Firstly, there was a lack of clear communication about my start date and time, which caused some initial confusion. Additionally, I was expected to use my personal cell phone extensively for work purposes, including downloading apps that were not mentioned in the job posting. My phone number was also shared with multiple employees before I even began working, which was concerning.

Another issue was the absence of health benefits, despite the full-time hours. This crucial information was not communicated during the hiring process, and I had to discover it through my own research. Lastly, I was expected to print out work-related documents using my personal printer and ink, which was not mentioned beforehand.

Overall, while the role itself seemed promising, the lack of professionalism in these areas made it difficult for me to feel confident about moving forward with the company. I hope they address these issues for future hires.

The items to be assembled (grills, furniture, and wheelbarrows at my store) are supposed to be ready for the technician upon arrival. We had a list, and every time, most were not pulled. Being paid by the item, you are receiving zero dollars an hour. Time is wasted finding a manager, and someone to locate, and pull the product.  NW management is no help, as one manager has to juggle dozens of stores. You are paid the state minimum wage, unless you can assemble at a very fast rate. At a minimum, you`ll need to purchase a few hundred dollars of tools to complete the work at a reasonable pace. After complaining a few times that the product not be ready for me to assemble, all of my assignments were pulled without notice. Fortunately, I found a new full time job immediately. Well over a month after completing my last assignment, and quitting, I receive a "termination" email. How do you terminate someone who has already quit? Not recommended to work here, unless you like to be stressed, and underpaid. 

The jobs can be seasonal, but since I kept my stores happy I was kept on year-round. As you get better at building things and use the right tool for each job it's like giving yourself a raise.  The pay is very good for anyone who has a decent work ethic.  I like being able to set my own pace, and listen to music and e-books as I built, after a few months even the hardest items became routine and easy.    One bummer is I don't even remotely close to their corporate offices, as I would love to work there, so this probably won't be my career, but it's great money and experience in the meanwhile.

I have worked here for a couple of years and love this job. Everyone I have interacted with has been great and the work is enjoyable. Every day is a little bit different, giving a nice variety to things. The only con I can think of is that you are reliant on the client stores' amounts of work. If they did not plan correctly, or if a shipment is late coming in, they may not have the expected amount of work for you. The opposite end of the spectrum is when they have a lot for you to do that is super fast and easy. Most days are somewhere closer to the middle, giving a full day's work and a corresponding pay.

Some people have difficulty with the fact that every day is a little different than the last, so that would be the only thing to keep in mind.

NWS allows me as a single father the opportunity to provide for my family while maintaining an incredible work/life balance. Management really cares for what is best for me personally and provides support whenever needed. Also the job itself is the perfect blend of knowing exactly what is expected while having enough diversity to keep each day at work from becoming mundane or uninteresting. Being an assembly tech for NWS provides the opportunity for anyone with drive and good work ethic to excel, and from my experience, sets its employees up for success.

Not a very good place to work at all. During the slow season. They play politics and pick favorites to work when there's work for everyone. They don't even take into consideration of alternating work days for people. Especially during the pandemic.  People have to pay bills and they don't think about that. They say its full time, all year round. They never mentioned once to me about a slow season when I was in the interview process. Not worth my time nor should it be for anyone else. Just trying to save people some time.


It was an enjoyable job. I would get to go build things every day, and hard work was rewarded fairly. I got several raises in the time I was there and my manager would go out of his way to take care of the people working for him. My reason for leaving was that the pay was per item, so my paycheck would vary seasonally. Sometimes I would get to a store in mid-February and they wouldn't have anything for me to build, for example. I was just in a place in my life where I needed a more consistent paycheck, instead of high highs and low lows. It was the best job I've ever had though, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to work there, as long as they know it's hard to design a budget around.

Piece rate job, everything you do is through a phone app, it's actually pretty slick. You make good money at first but as the summer goes on your paychecks go down as work slows down till you pretty much hit a wall after July 4th since the frenzy of spring is gone. Don't expect this as a year around job. Keep other jobs on the lookout. You have to be mechanically inclined to be able to assemble things fast to make money, you need a car to get to jobs and tools to do your job. It works for some people , some not.
