Business Outlook

Pros

I have the benefit of having worked at several of NSF's competitors before coming. Although there are some unhappy people, NSF is so much better that my previous employers. Yes there is still stuff that can be improved but overall the benefits are pretty good and the work environment very friendly.

Cons

Office temperature in the summer can be terrible. Desperately need a new office. Not all leaders lead the same way as the best.

Greater than 50% turnover in less than 2 years

Business Outlook

Pros

The work could potentially be interesting, if it were done correctly.

Cons

Too many to list. Highlights include low pay, passive aggressive managers who promote people based on favoritism. Safety is a joke. There was a fire and management has done everything they can to cover it up. Morale is garbage. Work performance is worse. Standards are a joke, management cares more about pushing work through than actual integrity. I can't emphasize this enough, the Micro Lab has had a greater than 50% turn over rate in 2 years!!
