Northwest Administrators reviews

Highly toxic work environment. From the first day I started there was no direction. The training was non existent and the person training me was over working there. I asked for training materials and was told "I haven't gotten around to it." There was no rhyme or reason to how this person was dispensing information and seemed combative when I asked questions. Management was off site and unhelpful.

Huge con: a lot of the managers and supervisors have never worked anywhere else, and as a result have no clue how to be an effective manager. This place is like a farm system for small-minded, clueless supervisors that could have sitcoms about them. Many of them waver between tyrannical micromanagement of the most inconsequential parts of their department to astoundingly clueless as to what their staff should be doing. Inept and inappropriate. Moderate con: It's unfortunate, but they tend to tell you what they think you want to hear. Instead of being up front and realistic when discussing job duties involved with potential promotions, they talk about special projects and things they "see you doing", but rarely follow through. I have both experienced and witnessed this type of disappointment. Frustrating con: They aren't great at recognizing how much work goes into projects, so you either kill yourself trying to meet a deadline or you have to scrounge up and beg for work to tide you over. People in management have been known to disappear for hour(s) during the work day without anyone in charge being the wiser. There are definitely work division issues, if not clear over staffing. Gross con: some of the bathrooms are disgusting with plugged sinks and toilets that splash violently when flushing. There is also no ventilation in the bathrooms - none. The recycled air is pretty bad, and illnesses pass through like a game of tag. HR policy cons: Ugh. Despite recent baby steps forward, NWA really is devoid of anything in their HR policy that competes with desirable employers. Unless you get excited about wearing jeans one day a week, I guess. They've banned music/headphones, some managers/supervisors strictly enforce the no cell phone policy, you get scolded for having too many personal items at your desk...the don't's are bigger than the do's. But if you can laugh when the entire company gets scolded for the actions of a few, you'll do okay here.
