National Oilwell Varco Employer Reviews

Work place was very socially outgoing, everyone was able to work with one another. Management was willing to hear opinions.

lots of overtime and the pay is good. managers and coworkers were great to work with

NOV is a well trained, origanized company. 10hr days order pulling and packing of materials was fun

I would do from the paint both to the oven & puling the product out with a forklift to the cart operating the crane,i learned how to work the oven & the paint both and learning colors,all of my co-workers were respectfull to one another, i had no trouble doing my job.

* VERY Busy
* Nov don't care about their employee
* Your boss has less knowledge then you!
* Good
* Deal with Boss who don't know any thing about your job.
* Meeting the dead line.

I deal mostly with intercompany customers overseas selling aftermarket rig crane parts.I learned quite a bit about on and off shore gas and oil drilling. My co-workers and I have a team type work environment. One of the hardest parts of the job is trying to explain to a customer why the warehouse shipped them the wrong parts. the best part of the job – more... is when a customer emails me satisfied with their delivery times. However I miss the steel industry,an office environment is not really me. – less

My job consisted of sitting and waiting for someone to ask for help, but hardly anyone in the organization knew our group existed. We were tasked with helping other business groups with process improvements and cost cutting ideas; the best budget improvement I could recommend would have been the elimination of the Corporate Process Development organization – more... and funneling the yearly 1.5 million + dollar budget back into the production facilities that were falling apart. – less

Poor management, poor financial practices. The schedules for field specialists was extremely erratic, as we never knew when we would be called out into the field.

Good work environment, rotating shift is difficult on the Family life. Benefits are good, incentives are great.

A very easy mindless job with out enough challenges through out the day. Overall a great job just not enough demand for mental exertion.

great job if your single, your going to be out in the elements, loading trucks with a backhoe or trackhoe, dealing with balancing fluid levels, changing worn out screens, un-clogging hoses, cleaning up equipment and spills.

work outside, in weather, management was good, co-workers are cool, the weather conditions, most enjoyable part of the day was when it was time to clock.

Lots of overtime and great benefits 12 hours a day work co-workers very friendly and shop is A/C.

Challenging roles in different departments. Can be rewarding if working with the right group.

I have learned a lot in my seven years at NOV. A great company to work for.

I learned that you can not trust anyone. True backstab. People will do anything to get ahead and use anything said to do it. At least at Aircenter facility. Would not recomend that location to anyone.

I learned a lot about the oil field and welding and much more as well as running a variety of machines and how to read blueprints

My job consisted of traveling to different Oilfield companies, working on sales calls and invoices. Also keeping up Customer Relations.The hardest part of my job was adapting to working in the Oilfield on Locations and Rigs, but eventually the situations became easier. The most enjoyable part of my job was the travel and meeting knew people that taught – more... me a lot about the Oilfield. – less

put away product in a timely fashion
used cherry picker and reach truck

I learned a lot from knowing nothing and I got work with different tools and my co-workers were helpful when I needed help.
