Pros

I've been with Nassau for a long time and it's really sad to see all the negative comments being posted. My experience has been different. In the time I've been here I have seen the company grow tremendously. The company's success has not only provided stability and opportunity for growth within the organization but it has also created new jobs. The owner and his sons are very hands on and if you work hard your efforts WILL BE recognized; if you commit to them they will commit to you. They have an open door policy and promote dignity and respect for all no matter your position. They take the time to listen to their employees' needs and help them on a personal level, each and every time. They are successful because they work hard and expect their employees to do the same. What I find interesting is that the same people posting these negative comments are probably those same people still working at Nassau: If you're so unhappy then you shouldn't be here! And for all potential new hires looking for a change - "don't base your decision on the negative reviews, just come and try it out for yourself!"

Cons

Parking is a challenge, More vacation time for your long term employees No bereavement pay More employee incentive programs (even though a few have been implemented already)

Pros

There are some nice people to work with

Cons

Extremely disorganized. The most negative energy and attitudes I have ever seen in my entire life. The cursing is unreal especially for a professional environment. They keep taking over companies and hiring NO EXTRA PEOPLE to even keep up then complain there are mistakes when everyone is worked to death. So much drama and so many secrets. Managers and owners make you feel absolutely terrible to take one of your PAID sick or PAID vacation days which by the way IS A BENEFIT OF THE JOB. No one is appreciated at all, and the people who don't do anything all day still get paid more than the people who kill themselves trying to catch up, yes certain people boast about pay. There is obviously no caring of workplace image if a grown man can walk around with his literal behind out all day. It is so bad to the point that this person sits on other people's chairs with his entire bottom on the chair and gives a full moons while bending over. I'm not saying everyone should be dressed to the nines, but there should be some sort of recourse for you're pants down all day wearing no underwear in the work place. HR had discussed this with this person for years and still nothing has been done about it. It is absolutely disgusting and they have no shame even when it is brought up to them. Constant complaining and horrible talk about others from certain people. The list honestly can go on and on.
