Pros

401k is good and insurance is ok

Cons

1. Some managers and employees have so much attitudes and being disrespectful. 2. Not well organized and does NOT plan things well, always want stuff in the last minute and want it right away like you have magic. 3. Regular works cannot be done on a regular basis because you need to fix for what other people have done wrong on the same thing over and over again. 4. Cannot take a personal day off without pay, YES, even without pay! This Manager forces you to use your vacation or sick leave. Can't even use at time when You want it to ?! So ridiculous! 5.Hourly employees only have 3 days sick leave for entire year, if unluckily get sick often, then gotta to use vacation days. 6. This Manager is never gonna let you transfer to other location or other job opportunity unless you are applying for a management level position. Cannot be transferring because other location is close to home? Or simply just want a total different position? I don't think anyone will know better about what I really want and good for me except for myself. Eventually people have to leave the company. I'm pretty sure this does not happen to all NOV though, this manager just make NOV looks so bad!!!
