Pros

People are very friendly. Never had a bad experience with any coworker. Management wants to evolve the business and is making strides to modernize a very old company. Mission statement is noble and every member of the company seems to uphold it.

Cons

Management can’t plan ahead and overworks staff with unrealistic goals. “Company goals” drive bonus and when goals aren’t met employees suffer for it. Company has a hard time breaking down silos which impacts communication and efficiency. Teams often have an incredibly hard time making decisions on anything which causes drawn out conversations and little progress.

Pros

The payscale NFPA uses means that people tend to get paid pretty well.

Cons

The environment is highly toxic, starting with the CEO. He's great at speaking and seeming like he cares about people and the company when presenting publicly, but he's a very different, mean-spirited person in more private meetings. Nothing pleases him more than attacking others and getting those around him to agree that he is always "directionally correct," which is a term I've never heard before or since, but heard all the time from the VPs. If anyone has to deal with him or the sycophants he's hired around him in the C-suite, your time at NFPA will likely be miserable. If you don't have to deal with them, you might be OK at NFPA.
