Pros

At the time I worked there, the compensation package for sales reps ("Senior Account Executives") had great potential. It was, superficially, anyway, a very fun work environment, and management carefully screened most new employees; most of the people hired in my class were "winners" - at first.

Cons

Actually *making* sales for NAB was very hard. Once I learned about all the hidden fees that NAB charges merchants, I got discouraged and went back to a former job. I felt that we were not being honest with merchants, and at least a few of the merchants agreed. As somebody who wants to be honest 100% of the time I simply felt I couldn't continue here.

Pros

Nice location, great building, lotsa free munchies, great fellow workers trying their hardest to make a go of this company.

Cons

Totally incompetent IS middle and upper management. Software QA manager a total joke. Has not idea what's going on in his own department, just likes playing politics. No direction and recognition, just a pink slip when "someone doesn't like someone" no assistance to improve. No recognition for achievement. Lots of finger pointing and blame game, no rewards for going "above and beyond" to satisfy customers, so you learn real fast not to in this job. Why do they promote incompetents to management? Don't ever consult with actual workers and job achievers. Communication is strictly one-way, down the silo. Few software testers who know what they are doing soon leave for better jobs, more pay and recognition. Owner likes to play with interior decorating and workstations, no clue as to what technical professionals NEED for good work environment. Too noisy and too many interruptions and distractions in latest "re-design" of work environment, which severely impacts productivity, especially in Agile environment which they say they want to install, but everyone in management ignores under pressure to "get the apps out" No organization in company to help out the call center people deal with the technology forced to use, one guy JUST ONE GUY in entire IS dept. who is willing to help them, and he is routinely ignored (clueless manager) for input, again this severely impacts productivity.
