Pros
This past month, I joined NLG and couldn’t be happier with the decision. The hiring and on-boarding process was organized and well done; and, I had to review the benefits twice, because I couldn’t believe how much was offered! In addition to three diverse health plans and all the standard benefits, disability is 100% paid by company, vacation and volunteer time banks are generous, and there are so many other options like pet care, onsite wellness, a free gym—even massage therapy! I’ve never experienced a culture where everyone is encouraged to be themselves and share their ideas. I’ve been at a lot of organizations where meetings are basically just listening to the leader. Here, everyone shares their thoughts in a productive manner. Nothing is ever perfect, but all the important boxes are checked here!
Cons
There's a lot to learn about the industry, and a lot of jargon in use that makes things a little confusing at first.
