Beware
I worked for NIPCAM for approximately 3 years and gave everything I had to managing operations and serving clients across East Texas. Unfortunately, after requesting formal resolution regarding unpaid overtime and fair classification, I was terminated via text message.
I raised legal concerns about unpaid overtime and misclassification. NIPCAM’s ownership — including Sean Nolan, Maxcy P. Nolan III, Brett Nolan, and Hank Oliver — held a group meeting and still chose to terminate me. I believe this was a direct act of retaliation.
I was also directed to apply restricted-use pesticides using a delivery method NIPCAM had internally invented, which violated proper application standards and regulatory norms. I was told that’s what set us apart from “the other guy’s.”
I’ve since filed a formal complaint with the Department of Labor and launched my own licensed company, Lion Standard LLC.
I’m not sharing this out of bitterness, but because transparency matters. All workers deserve to be treated fairly when raising valid legal concerns. I received a cease and desist letter after sharing my experience — not resolution or accountability. I stand by everything I’ve said.
Now the company is telling people I was let go due to personal conflicts, which is false and retaliatory. I have full documentation. If they’re willing to mislead their own team and partners, ask yourself: What else are they hiding?
I’ve attached images below. If you’re a customer or potential hire, what you see might look familiar. Like many, I didn’t know what was going on until it was too late. What felt “normal” involved compliance issues that were never disclosed to us in the field.
Don’t take anything these guys say at face value. Do your own research. Ask questions. Some things only come to light when the damage is done. Be smarter than I was — protect yourself before you trust them.
