Pros

Outside of upper management, great people who truly believe in public health.

Cons

The leadership's communication style is characterized by a lack of transparency and an unwillingness to address employee concerns. Important information is often withheld, leaving employees in the dark about organizational changes and decisions that directly impact their work. This lack of transparency fosters an environment of distrust, further contributing to the overall negative workplace culture. Minimal encouragement or avenues for career development. Lack of mentorship, clear career paths, and training programs.The workplace is marred by favoritism, creating a toxic atmosphere where those in positions of power enjoy undue privileges, while the rest of the team is left feeling undervalued and overlooked. The lack of a fair and inclusive promotion process has created a sense of demotivation among employees.

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
