Pros

NU has fantastic benefits, health, dental and retirement match. It is a fun place to work. Even though it's remote work, I never felt alone. There were team meetings every day that made our team feel like a family. The people that work there are amazing! They also promote from within which is awesome. One of the best things about National University is free education. You can get an associate's, bachelor's or master's degree at no cost. Doctorate degrees were at a discount.

Cons

The pay is extremely low. I have a master's degree but I was only making $27.75 per hour. Even after 4 years, I was living paycheck to paycheck.
