Pros

There are some very good people working at NES that genuinely care about their customers and coworkers. It makes for a great working environment at first until the true colors begin to show.

Cons

No 401k matching but that is made up for with the promise of profit sharing through the Profits Interest Plan.... supposedly. I spent several years working with NES where I lived and breathed whatever it took to make the company more profitable and to better support the customer base. This was recognized for the first year but after that, things went downhill. Bonuses (profit sharing) went down dramatically for the average employee while certain managers and Directors continued to be highly compensated regardless of their contribution to the growth of the company. The company has grown and unfortunately, upper management has forgotten that it is the average Joe that made the company what it has become. Very sad to see the way things changed and I was not the first to leave or the last to leave because the true colors have finally come out. There is one Director within the company that has essentially been deemed untouchable and always gets their way. Well that is until the put the wrong employee on their program and then it is a lawsuit waiting to happen. You can't cuss and yell at employees without major repercussions.

Pros

The best company I had ever worked for. Company was dissolved through a merger in 2018 (ish?). Find the history of personnel with this company in their timeline and press the gas.

Cons

Too rare to find companies that go above and beyond like NES did.

Pros

Great Company. NES is based out on the East Coast, but I was hired for a position in Kansas City. Management was great keeping in contact with me, and was easy to get a hold off. They would come out every 4-6 months for a dinner party. Had a great time every time! Very professional. While I was employed with them my wife gave birth to our second child. Our child ended up in the NICU for 10 days. I was given emergency time off, for the initial birth and transition, and then allowed to work remotely (from my laptop) as much as I could. I was able to use donated leave to make up the difference. They also provided a very sweet baby gift once we were home. This is a great company, and if you are a good worker they will do what they can. Also, they have a reward program that encourages high levels of performance. I received multiple $100 gift cards in the mail as a reward for high performance reviews from customers. Great company! The only reason I left was I ended up accepting a cushy government job.

Cons

Not too sure what the retirement structure is. They don't offer a traditional pension, but rather some sort of weird "stock" in the company "if it ever sells." Seemed weird to me. Of course I left before the company sold so I never received anything, but that's my only complaint. Management, communication, leadership was all great!
