Pros

Some of your Co-workers are amazing, some managers/supervisors are great people and will help you with anything, other than that there is not too much good here.

Cons

Some management (especially upper management), sucks! They don't care about how their employees feel. The people who run this company have no remorse in making a hard working employee cry her eyes out in the bathroom. Whether you work hard or barely work, nothing is ever good enough for some of these people that run the company. When doors are closed for 2 hour "meetings", the worst things are said about employees. There is no respect at this company from some of the managers/supervisors. If you are more than 7 minutes late you get in trouble, yet managers walk in whenever they want, and leave 3 hours later because they are on salary pay. After two years of working there, I made 25 cents more than brand new employees and I helped restructure a department that was crumbling, and I worked my butt off to make sure things were done correctly and everything was written down step by step procedure wise for any other employee that wanted to see how it was done. My 2nd year review was 2 months late, and when I did the math, if I got my review on time with my raise, I should have had $3,100 more in my account, but NFN doesn't back pay because they don't appreciate their hard working employees. Also, the day of my review, I was written up for a small error, NOTE TO MANAGEMENT: you cannot pile up huge projects on one person and give them small deadlines- IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY, MISTAKES WILL BE MADE!!! Some managers do everything to help you, and some sit on their computer reading news articles. This is the most stressful place to work, I've watched people breakdown in the parking lot. Which also brings me to unfair treatment of employees. As a previous employee of this company, I costed the company a few hundred dollars on a mistake, where there are two other employees that continuously cost the company THOUSANDS of dollars in errors, with no punishment to them, yet I got written up for my mistake. DO NOT WORK HERE, IT IS THE MOST STRESSFUL ATMOSPHERE I HAVE EVER BEEN IN (and I left the company on good terms).

National Field Network will always retro the employee's salary increase in the event that the review is behind. It is a falsehood to accuse the company of not providing back pay to their employees. There are weekly meetings with managers and supervisors, and no one is ever called out by name in regards to their work performance. Human resources sits in on those meetings and will not allow employees to be talked about in front of other employees. If an employee makes a mistake, then they will be addressed regarding it. There is no way for employees to know who gets addressed and who does not. That is an assumption made by many who think that they are the only ones who are addressed. Employees do not have any right to know any other employees business. Those matters are confidential. It is not the CEO who makes employees cry in the bathroom. The company cannot control the emotions of its employees. What the company can do is support our employees in their work performance and provide honest feedback to them in a respectful manner. The company seeks to help its employees grow and develop into leaders.

In the event that you feel that you have a lack of growth, please speak with your manager or human resources. We would like all employees to feel as if they are a valuable member of the team. We are always hoping to expand the knowledge of our employees.

Pros

*Room for Advancement *Employee Incentives such spin the wheel where you can win extra lunch time and gift cards, pizza the last Wednesday of each month, bagels every Friday, massages every few months *PTO *Benefits such as medical, dental and vision *401K which the company matches *The starting pay rate is much better than working at the grocery store or some store at the mall *Volunteer opportunities throughout the community such as stuff the bus, donating to the food-bank and working with United Way *There's a lot you can learn about Property Preservation

Cons

*It's a shame that people that actually like their job can't write an honest review because they are accused of being forced by Shari to write the review. *Employees that keep complaining about the "atrocious" medical benefits that the company offers. Clearly they aren't paying attention to what's covered or how much they actually pay for the benefits. The amount that we pay on a monthly basis is around $200. I've gone to the doctor plenty of times with my medical insurance and have never had to pay a $50 co-pay unless I've gone to a specialist or the walk-in doctor. My co-pay's have always been $30. Maybe the employees who've paid more than that are going to doctor's that are not covered by the plan or going to doctors that are considered specialists *The negativity of some of the employees
