NIC reviews

Salaries are much less than the going rate. Paid health benefits helps with that, but company employees are still undervalued and underpaid in all areas. Bonuses are small. Few professional training opportunities except online on one's own time and the paid education benefit has stringent requirements attached. Some members of leadership lack soft skill training and the company finds it difficult to retain employees in many areas. Promotion opportunities available only if one is willing to relocate. Poor work-life balance and that is obvious with the reactive rather than proactive management style that leads to hair on fire working conditions and constant unreasonable pressure. Lack of strategic thinking and long term goal setting leads to poor decisions and stifles business growth.

In my office (a new branch/contract) people were promoted to management because they had kissed up to the right people by because of their managerial experience or ability to lead. My managers looked out for themselves and threw their employees under the bus. They expected you to sacrifice everything but gave nothing in return. One branch varies so much from the others. My experience in one branch was the best job I have had. Then I moved and couldn't get out soon enough. I had a little loyalty to the company and my management who recommended me but that only went so far.
