Pros

Co-workers and teammates at NSC with a shared passion for safety.

Cons

If you are not a VP, forget equity or appropriate levels of respect and behavior. The CEO is a micromanager to the lowest level of company employees and departments. She has treated employees horribly. The destructive behaviors VPs exhibit toward employees is tolerated. You can not speak up and report anything. Transparency is smoke and mirrors. The pay bands are horrible. They treated employees horribly with furloughs, layoffs, and at-will firings. When there is a problem, someone's head will roll, except the VP, who should take the responsibility. A lot of scapegoats. If only the NSC board would dial in and quit believing that "covid" is the reason for poor employee surveys and morale. NSC has lost so many of its best employees who have decided to leave over the past few years. Do yourself a favor and keep looking.

Badly broken with no end in sight

Pros

Commitment to saving lives very strong

Cons

Senior management must be replaced before you consider working here. The Board Of Directors is oblivious or they simply don't care. The horrific culture will remain until executives are replaced. Employee satisfaction has plummeted from 60% to under 20% over the past few years and it is getting worse. Leadership only knows how to lead by fear and intimidation. Good new VPs depart quickly when they realize what they walked into. There has been 5 reorganizations in 6 years and no one is held accountable. There has been 4 Sales executives fired in 5 years and no one is held accountable. Employees don’t dare speak their minds for fear of termination. Sadly, employees have given up. Former employees on Linkedin will give you the honest insight into working here. Look elsewhere.

Pros

The co-workers make the job bearable and the mission is why employees have stayed.

Cons

The culture is bad and continues to get worse. Executives are paid BIG salaries, other employees not so much! Transparency really means 0 transparency. Employees are treated horrible. HR is the worst and not to be trusted, they do not support employees or their concerns, retaliation for speaking up is common. They have had more reorganizations than you can imagine and constant change resulting in lost revenue, massive amounts of employees leaving or looking for work and a culture that continues to go down the toilet. The entire top tier should be gone. They create policy but don't follow it. A non-profit that focuses on revenue over the mission.
