Pros
It is a good learning environment with meduim pressure for "numbers"...service is highly important to National which supports a "feel good about what you do" environment and attracts other very positive, friendly, employees. Co-workers and students make coming to work enjoyable. Benifits are top level and low cost, many training programs available for staff and lastly Natioanl offers great JOB SECRUITY- while one can easliy be replaced based on job discription, employees are valued within their own department and NU is steadily growing, making lots of money, and has no need for layoffs or campus closures.
Cons
There are many moments one feels the have mallot of finances pounding at their door. For empoyees that work as hard as the people I know there should be a much bigger reward or insentive for the time, quality work and effort found amongst most employees. Like stated above internal departments value employees; however the "higher-up could care less about the day to day tasks, work incentives, or promotions. For a company to send out letters acknowledging their employees will likely qualify for welfare or food stamps is a bold statment of "we know we don't pay you enough to meet economic standards of living." That letter was assurance that this is not a company to plan long term growth.
