Pros

Great Place to Work: This company is a gem in Vermont. It's not just a job; it's a fantastic place to build a career. The work culture here is one of collaboration, support, and growth. Compensation Package and Benefits: The compensation package and benefits offered are well above industry standards. I haven't found another place in Vermont where I could earn this much while enjoying such an incredible range of perks. Wellness Benefits: The company goes above and beyond when it comes to wellness benefits. The free gym membership, weekly access to a massage therapist, acupuncture, and chiropractor on-site make it easy to prioritize health and well-being. AND $1800/yr reimbursement for such this as ski pass, golf membership, personal trainer, home exercise equipment, classes, aquatics, etc. Free Tuition Program: The free tuition program for college degrees, both undergrad and beyond, is a game-changer. It demonstrates the company's commitment to employee development and personal growth. Culture Focus: The intentional focus on culture at all levels is remarkable. It's evident that the company values its employees and works hard to create a positive, inclusive, and engaging environment. Hybrid Flexibility: The hybrid work model with three core office days and two virtual days provides employees with flexibility, making work-life balance much more manageable. Valued and Heard: One of the most significant strengths is that every employee feels valued. Opinions genuinely matter here, and feedback is actively encouraged, creating an environment of open dialogue and continuous improvement.

Cons

To enhance the employee experience: Slow Return to Office: Since the pandemic, some associates have been slow to return to the office. This has resulted in a reduction in the camaraderie and social engagement that larger numbers used to bring. Less Team Spirit Activities: The decrease in team spirit activities is noticeable. These activities used to bring us all together, fostering a stronger sense of unity and collaboration.

Pros

The culture at NLG is Do Good. Be Good. Make Good. and they live by that. I have felt fully supported by not only my supervisor but those who work alongside me. Being new to the industry, means I have a lot of questions and each teammate is willing to take the time, so I understand the 'why' behind our decisions. The Executive Assistants work as a team sharing communications, supporting each other and even making sure there is some laughter during stressful moments. I'm able to openly and honestly discuss any concerns I have with my direct supervisor and develop a plan for continued learning.

Cons

i have not encountered any cons and took a big leap of faith leaving a long standing career to come work at NLG

Pros

Nice gym onsite Great coworkers

Cons

*Any company that refers to itself as a Family should put you on high alert. It’s a dysfunctional family at best. No investment in meaningful technology that works and unwilling to hire people. If you aren’t investing in tech to do the work then hire more people. *Pay the people you hire. 50k (35k after taxes) is not a livable wage anymore. Rent, student debt, health insurance, car payment and car insurance and you are eating at the Food Shelf. Literally I’ve gotten food from the food shelf but hey you can volunteer 40 hours a year. Senior Leadership needs an invite to 2023. *Culture is a joke. People are so burned out they cry at work. No time for development-do it on your own time, when you aren’t working mandatory overtime. They have a culture committee but your smoothie truck and cheap company swag isn’t making people feel better. Everyone is overworked and stressed out. *They say they are a middle America company - a Main Street company but most of their employees cannot afford to buy their products, most of their employees can’t even tell you what their products are. You are trained to do the task not ask why. *Jobs are moving to India and the Philippines. !!! Maybe if you paid people here a living wage and provided time to learn, you’d get good American employees who can afford to live on Main Street. *It’s all about the numbers not the people and those who are close enough are too scared to talk and tell the truth. You only get promoted for towing the company line. You get spoken to about how you want to ‘show up’ when you speak up. It’s such gaslighting at a corporate level. I can’t pay my bills-you get paid a lot, We are overworked -no we have enough employees you just need to be more efficient, I want to learn and grow - you are on the job (as you slave away only doing the tasks I assigned you and nothing else).

Thank you for your feedback. We, of course, do not want anyone working at National Life to feel this way. Our goal remains to provide all employees a workplace where everyone feels valued, adds value, and lives our values. I hope you will give me the opportunity to speak with you directly about your concerns so I can better understand them and figure out how to best address them. My door is always open and I’m available when you’re ready. Michael Veilleux – Chief People Officer
