Very stressful work environment.  Not a very happy or fun place to work.  If you did have a fun day & some laughter...then the following day you were informed that someone or others in another dept. & on the other side of the wall were complaining that we were too loud.  They were pretty much not aloud to talk at all & was expected to keep silence, but it was not always that easy for us for we had technicians coming in & out some, etc.  Company was not able to keep employees in their service dept. due to other issues & treatment from this dept. & others above continuing to condone.  Dept. had complete in house service dept. turnover 3 or more times outside one coordinator at the time I was hired.  From what I understand it is still continuing after my leaving.  You are talked to and treated like you are a child.  Micro managed & also by other dept. head or manager then not full or inproper information was then fed to the corp. office because we never was able to keep a manager of our own.  Other dept. pulls against service dept. in lieu of working & pulling together as a team?!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Generator Industry is awesome to work in. The people the work at Nixon Service are great to work with

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The support for work load at the local level needs to be addressed. The experience of several of the people for their position in the company is not near enough 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Can be fun at times, but the demand for tasks that need completed are way to heavy for some positions and others positions need more to do.  The division of parts dept and logistics departments has put so much stress on the people in the service dept. that the quality of life the employees in service is affected negatively 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working in an emergency generator company comes with stress as part of the territory, but the level stress present every day was ridiculous... Mainly due to local management, not upper management

Not an awful place to work. I made a lot of money due to overtime. You can basically right your own check, as much as you want to work.. Pay scales are are messed up, so I would suggest negotiating for top dollar coming in.  This job will tend to consume if you are remote tech. Support personnel, while good people struggle with day to day operations logistically, Being scheduled for a job, but you don't have parts or vice versa . But if you have to spend all day running around getting parts you will get paid so....Benefits are good, although interpreting them(insurance) can be a task because HR personnel are constantly coming and going. Promotions to management positions and changing jobs within company is a rarity, you have to know the right people and don't mind "stirring the pot". Like I said not a bad place but if you let it, it will wear you down.

Working at Nixon has been a breath of fresh are for sure.  This is a company that gets it and likes to growth from within.  Yes, there are some obstacles in some of the process as we continue to grow at an exponentially rate; however, we have measures and the right people in place to correct and alleviate those issues.  Upper management actually listens and takes into consideration how decisions/ideas from their level will impact persons in middle management and below before making final decisions.  I am somewhat new to the industry, but I love the persons I work with and more important the direction the company is moving and my impact in the process.

Constant harassment by a female co-worker who I complained about and never got any thing done about it. Complained about their poor training and the culture of the company, even sat down with the CEO of the company. Also helped interview candidates to join our department 3 times, due to the high turnover rate our department had within the last year. They've had 9 employees, who were hired and either resigned or where let go (mostly resigned). Yet, I get laid off, because they "lost an account". This company is not what they said they were and they treat certain employee's with favoritism as long as you're not a male.

When you work for Nixon you can expect to be; overworked, overlooked (unless you are in the club),  worked  days, nights, overnights, weekends, and holidays, experience inept management and never-ending changes that were not tried-tested before being implemented, resulting in loss of employee morale and dissatisfied customers. Company culture is disconnected and in constant flux. This is a company that talks the talk but does not walk the walk. If you are planning a career, you are better off finding other employers where there is a level playing field and an equal chance for advancement.

The recruiting part is great, as is the interview. They really make you feel like you'll "fit right in". However, once you get in and think you're settling in, then you start getting the actual picture. Training is pitiful, especially if you've done this type of work before. You're just supposed to know everything. When you ask questions, you get half-answers. When you get told to "own your position", they don't actually mean it.  If you plan to work here as a tech, you're good to go. Otherwise, don't bother.

starting at Nixon was great . I was going to all these different places then towards the middle and end of my career there it started getting extremely stressful . I was always promised my own truck and going out on my own but that never happened . My manager would have me cutting bushes and running errands when i could be learning more to exceed in the field. When he let me go he said " You're not worth the company's time and money"

Good supportive local team, multiple issues with customers being serviced on time, causing customers to feel not important. Poor communication within the ranks as a whole. For amount of time required to do job, compensation not adequate. Lack of professionalism company-wide, except immediate team manager. High turnover  in service dept. with field service techs, long delays in getting customers service done. Corresponding with long delays often lost business

If you are looking for a place to continually learn in a fast paced environment, Nixon is a great option. There are multiple opportunities to advance your career based on the continued growth. The core values at Nixon are positive attitude, accountable, customer focused, competitive, and team player. No two days are the same, there is always something new to learn. The environment at corporate is laid back, and casual with lots of great people.
