Toxic work environment. Unprofessional upper management and staff. Felt like high school all over again. Steer Clear.
Pros
- Good discount on products (although not really a pro since discount gear doesn't pay the bills) - good amenities - talented team with good skills
Cons
- Higher ups do not care about employees at all. They will lynch you in a second and hire the next guy or girl in line who is eager to work for the company the moment you try to give input or suggest changes. I have seen many colleagues come and go because they did not agree on certain aspects of a project, and many negative scenarios and unethical practices/tactics to fire employees for no cause. Their marketing works in terms of making them look good externally, but from an internal perspective it's toxic, narcissistic, and a cesspool of people who think they are better then everyone else. - Lack professionalism and work under fear tactics. - Always telling you that you are replaceable and using "the brand" as a way to keep you under control. - higher ups gossip, and create toxic situations. treat regular employees unfairly and look to them as inferior additions to the company. - morale of the office is super strict and a bit rough to walk into after working here for a while. You really start to notice the self entitlement that the company prefers when they hire people. It feels like highschool again. Groups of "clicks" who gossip and pretend to be your friend but really, they are just there to drop the words "I work for NI" and "I'm a *insert job title* for NI". - hypocritical. their marketing suggest they want to help musicians and showcase a welcoming home but it is anything but that. - Zero support, training, and growth. They are not here to help you succeed. Instead, they are wait for you to screw up and not tell you so they can use it against you and toss you under the bus. - No valid reasons for staff firings and layoffs. I saw many of my talented colleagues let go out of nowhere. This is not a trust worthy company.
