Pros

Handful of good people caught up in a bad company

Cons

Hey you, seen an NSF mark, or an ad somewhere and wondering what the company is all about? Here's it in nutshell NSF -Abuses it's non-profit tax status by diverting funds abroad to build new offices and particularly directly into the pockets of it's executive team and board. -Embarked on a "transformation" in 2020 during the pandemic laying off hundreds at the peak of the pandemic when they previously said those people would be given new jobs, then they laid off the new staff that came in...then laid off the staff that came in after that. Rampant cryonyism ensued. Whole departments are built entirely off who they know. -Has very little to do with public health but sure talks about it a lot. NSF is all about the benjamins and will go after it despite the impact on public health (look up peanut corp of America...NSF client....) - Case in point, NSF has certified a ton of PFAS containing products, now that the winds have blown the other way they have a PFAS-free certification scheme. - A VERY unsafe place to speak up as an employee or offer suggestions to anyone who's a director or above. - Ask yourself, is a company that treats its employees so terribly really care about the public's health? Suuuuure they do.

I have nothing negative to say about working here. NSF is high on my list of blessings in my life.

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
