Pros

- Prior to our company's transformation helped me grow in my career quite a bit. - Some co-workers are kind, thoughtful and supportive - After months of delay did get promoted to a normal role - Used to be a nice culture

Cons

Definitely more cons than pros! - Toxic culture - can't emphasize it enough! The organization has undergone what they call the NSF transformation which literally meant blowing up the whole organization and starting it from almost scrap - I was one of the "lucky" ones that didn't get let go during all this chaos - New people were brought in and they continuously critique the former employees (note: we actually understand the business while they don't), are changing all the systems, and are expecting us to change at the lightning speed - Lack of trust between new and old employees - New employees get better benefits and salaries while those of us the company didn't fire are told to be quiet and be grateful. When I kindly asked for a raise I was shut down by HR and they told me I didn't deserve it despite my stellar experience

Pros

The most supportive place I've ever worked. From my coworkers to the management team, I am continously grateful for this positive, collaborative work environment.

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about working here. NSF is high on my list of blessings in my life.

Pros

Work is interesting, people are great except for senior leadership. Work can be monotonous but there is opportunity for some cross training which helps; middle management is great for the most part

Cons

Pay is below average for industry and there is a huge range in pay for people doing the exact same work; promotions are difficult to receive - we shouldn't have to interview for promotions. Employees should have the opportunity to be promoted just based off merit and experience; "hybrid" work model forced upon employees when jobs can be done remotely; lack of care for employees from senior leadership
