DON'T DO IT

Pros

Many pros on the surface but gets old. Allowed work from home but so did the whole world.

Cons

Just forget it. Everything "nice" they do for workers doesn't fully include the call center employees. Parties/food/events you'll be lucky if you can attend. Upper management only cares about ques and numbers and don't communicate info to the people who are taking the calls. They outsourced to the phillipines so the call center will probably implode like it did before. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU. They don't plan ahead, just scramble when things fall apart. Always in crisis mode.

Your feedback and low rating were very conserning to us, so I shared your posting with Jim Parkinson, our CXO, for help in responding to your comments. Jim's passionate and heartfelt response to your posting was: "I normally would not just disagree like this. I have to point out that you are 100% incorrect. In fact, the Call Center is always considered when things are planned and we ensure that you are not left out. We recently completed CS/TS town hall, where the team was taken off the phones for 1 hour to ensure you had direct communications with me. We often bring in free lunch and dinner (Pre-COVID) for the call center team. If there is an event for lunch, or at other times in the building, everyone is given time to attend. ALL holiday parties and/or events at NAB are open, and the CS/TS employees are welcome to attend. There are times that we have folks on the phones, and those folks are compensated for missing the event. We are driven by the quality of our service and not where people live. Our teams outside the US have outstanding customer support skills and outstanding test scores. The quality of service has never been higher. I fail to see why anyone would care where the call center is located. All employees have the same training and performance requirements. We live in a global society, and that enriches our ability to provide superior service. We have invested in tools, new Hardware, training and quality control system because we care about you. Yes, we care about metrics; all businesses have to focus on Critical Items to be successful. We do plan and have continued to plan, our current strategy took over one year to implement, and we did it in the middle of COVID. In contrast, I understand that we have to put pressure on the call center from time to time due to an outage or issue. The communications and information are flowing through the systems and processes the entire time. The Call Center and Tech Support teams are critical to our business strategy, and I can tell you Marc, Kirk, Kari, David, and I all pay attention and appreciate the OUTSTANDING work the team is doing. Please don't "just forget it". Every person at NAB is important and every person that is here contributes to the success of the company. For me personally, I love the Call Center Teams and what they do every day. We Care A lot ! !" Jim Parkinson CxO

Pros

Steady pay check and manager was open to discussion but no real career growth here.

Cons

Upper management would listen to concerns but not take any action about the issues we presented.

While I appreciate the time you took to provide this feedback to us, it left me scratching my head a bit. I know for a fact that we have a huge growth strategy at NAB. There is opportunity across the enterprise for team members who have demonstrated strong performance and potential to grow. Currently we have more open positions than our recruiting team has ever had to work on - all because we have strong growth and we need strong talent to back that up. If you are willing to discuss your situation with me directly, I encourage you to give me a call. I would hate to think that anyone at NAB struggled with finding opportunities for growth and would like to better understand your particular situation. Thank you.

Pros

Great benefits, Great Management. Everyone works together as a team. Management allows you to do your job independently. Allows for growth opportunity

Cons

The training needs to be more thorough with more hands experience during training. Other than that very positive experience. Would only recommend to extend the training to incorporate more hands on work.

Thank you so much for this generous rating and for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience working at NAB. I appreciate the value you placed on our rich benefits program and the quality of your Risk management team. As you know we have seen an amazing growth trajectory and this has opened pipelines of career advancement for everyone at NAB. In the past two months alone we have processed promotions for almost 10% of our company enterprise wide and offered merit increases from 3 - 5% for everyone. Its an exciting time at NAB if you are looking for growth and opportunity. That being said, with growth comes an even more critical need for training and development. Because of this expanding need, we have approval to double our training team! If you know of any great trainers that can also develop content, please send them our way! We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we have a positive outlook and nothing but solid growth ahead. Thank you again for your posting, we appreciate the feedback.
