NIBCO reviews

The turnover rate of "recruits" is at least 80% over the last 5 years. Some of the best and brightest young leaders quickly realize that there is no future in a company that is being run from the HR side with no knowledge of what it takes to actually grow sales in a B2B sales cycle. HR paints a glowing picture of what it is like to work at NIBCO, but the reality by employees is that what was once a proud place to work is now just a job. Benefits being significantly cut is one thing, but termination of employees based on being disliked by key individuals, or without merit "due to cause" has decimated the company. Quality individuals that disagree with direction have been let go instead of being worked with to foster a strong, well balanced company. Formerly a market leader, NIBCO is now slow to bring products to market, slow to capitalize on trends, and slow to recognize what their field employees keep telling corporate. The worst thing really is that people that used to care now don't. Team unity has been broken into individual mentality, completely isolating people from trying to work together. Instead of correcting issues, HR tries to spin things to make it seem like things are great. They put out announcements saying how wonderful things are even when employees know that they are being forced into things they don't agree with. They even will write positive reviews on websites posing as employees to try and offset the negative ones written by real employees.

the interview process for internal positions is ridiculously long and most of the time you get the impression of who is intended for the position before interviewing. the process is just a formality. if you interview for several positions you look desperate rather than interested in progress for your career. I just received a 2% increase which isn't even cost of living after not having an increase for SEVERAL years. you can't mention this concern to HR or anyone in mgmt. because you get put on the "list"
