Pros

The building is beautiful. There's free popcorn and slushies. I liked the food vendors and food trucks onsite for lunch. Wearing jeans to work is an awesome perk. I made a few really great, life-long friends. There are opportunities for growth. Raises were quite generous back then. I really enjoyed my job for the first few months.

Cons

If you are a salaried employee, there is no work/life balance. Compensation was generally sub-par for many employees (they do talk...). Nothing quite like being yelled at (yes, yelled, the kind of yelling where spit flies from your mouth) by members of the "Senior Leadership" team. There is no "leading" by most of that team. Middle management tries, but tend to get overruled. Speed of Trust is a joke, there is no trust when there's backstabbing at all levels. There was a ton of nepotism and favoritism from the C-Level "Leadership" team (some of their family members were offered jobs at higher pay than tenured employees, or got promoted, and kept getting promoted... blood is thicker than water).

Pros

Joining this company has been well beyond my expectations. The culture is incredibly supportive, for the talent team (Mollie) combined with the training, nothing has beenless than exceptional, and the benefits reflect a true investment in employees. It's easy to understand why the company was recognized as one of the best fintech companies to work for in 2023. From day one, I've felt welcomed, valued, and set up for success. I feel incredibly humbled and grateful to be part of such a talented and people-focused organization. If you get the chance.. dont hesitate

Cons

Pros

I’ve worked at North for several years and have had the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally during my time here. One of the biggest positives is that the company promotes from within and gives people opportunities to advance if they consistently perform and take initiative. Leadership roles are attainable, and hard work does get recognized. The sales environment is fast-paced and performance driven, which can be a great fit for motivated individuals who enjoy challenges and growth. I’ve worked with a lot of genuinely supportive coworkers and leaders who are willing to help newer employees develop their skills. Like most sales organizations, there can be pressure tied to goals and metrics, and work-life balance may fluctuate depending on your role and workload. The pace is not for everyone, especially if you prefer a slower or more structured environment. Communication and processes can also evolve quickly, which sometimes creates growing pains. Overall, I would recommend the company to someone who is ambitious, coachable, and looking for long-term growth opportunities in sales or payments. Your experience here will largely depend on the effort you put in and your willingness to adapt in a high-performance environment.

Cons

My cons aren’t really cons. My entire review is a pro.
