National Fire Protection Association reviews

I honestly can't think of many negatives of working at NFPA. Everything we are doing is to better ourselves as an organization. Though NFPA is a relatively flat organization, they encourage learning and development with hundreds of training sessions on the Learning Management System, tuition reimbursement, and plenty of on-site opportunities for learning. All of the tools for owning your career are available to you at NFPA, you just have to own it.

Ever since the new CEO took over it was clear from the start that worker satisfaction was his least concern. I have never seen a so called non profit company spend so much time and effort talking about the “share holders” which was code for customers because as the CEO put it every customer is a shareholder. The new CEO hired a whole new team of penny pinchers and employees turned into numbers on a spread sheet and nothing more. The building I worked in averaged 1 supervisor per every 3 employees meaning a department with 10 workers had 3 supervisors like that makes much sense. They also hired third party companies to get employees to fill out satisfaction surveys that were supposed to be anonymous but were far from. They used these as a tool to weed out disgruntled employees who would try to get upper management to deal with issues but instead those who spoke up were let go. This was by far the most toxic work culture I have experienced.
