Pros

Great public mission and NSF does great work in the Water and Food Equipment industries. Middle management and below are chocked full of really competent and good people.

Cons

Senior management not grounded in reality. Leadership has a tendency to jump into businesses without appropriate market research, then pull the plug before the business has a chance to gain traction and succeed. Mergers are similar with little or no post merger integration strategy.

Pros

Work is interesting, people are great except for senior leadership. Work can be monotonous but there is opportunity for some cross training which helps; middle management is great for the most part

Cons

Pay is below average for industry and there is a huge range in pay for people doing the exact same work; promotions are difficult to receive - we shouldn't have to interview for promotions. Employees should have the opportunity to be promoted just based off merit and experience; "hybrid" work model forced upon employees when jobs can be done remotely; lack of care for employees from senior leadership
