Incompetent management values metrics over talent - Anonymous Employee Nation Safe Drivers Employee Review

Nation Safe Drivers truly invests in its people. Leadership encourages learning, professional development, and advancement, and there are real opportunities to grow your career if you’re willing to put in the work. The company promotes a culture of continuous improvement where ideas are welcomed and collaboration across teams is encouraged. One of the standout aspects of NSD is the leadership at the top. Our CEO, Rich Holland, sets a clear vision and tone for the organization. The C-suite is engaged, accessible, and focused on building a strong, sustainable company. That leadership creates a healthy work environment where fairness, accountability, and respect are emphasized. Overall, the culture is supportive, the work is meaningful, and it’s rewarding to be part of a team focused on helping motorists in challenging situations every day.

My hour long drive to work and like any fast-growing company, the pace can be demanding at times, but it also creates opportunities to learn quickly and make a real impact.

There are some teammates and people who will try to help you, but only one or two of those people.

The experience was a mix of strong expectations, long hours, and very little structure. There was basically no real onboarding. Within a couple days you’re expected to be making cold calls and sending emails, even though you don’t fully understand the product or who you’re selling to yet. The workload was intense. It wasn’t unusual to be working 7am–7pm and then still get messages or calls at night from West Coast teams expecting more work. There’s a set of leadership principles that are talked about a lot, but in practice they didn’t always feel consistent. If you pushed back or used them in conversation, it could turn into feedback that you weren’t “taking ownership,” even when you were trying to raise real concerns. There also felt like a mismatch between expectations and reality. The sales cycle was described as long-term, but people got fired in a very short window, which led to a lot of pressure. On the operational side, sales, onboarding, and implementation didn’t always line up well, which created friction for both employees and customers. Lastly, I personally saw instances where employees were let go after taking approved PTO, which caused a lot of concern around time off.
