Pros
Overall the non management employees are genuinely good people to have to work with. It's easy to provide great ideas to help solve problems management will roll with. Don't expect praise or recognition for your solutions, just remember to write it down and load up your resume.
Cons
The company, what it is, does and wants to be is the problem. NEST is nothing more than a shady brokerage firm. In one of the "town hall" meetings Sr. blatantly explained how they no longer call themselves a broakerage firm because of the negative image it now portrays, thats why they are now calling it a multifacility solutions provider. Just like that amazingly generic catch prhase it's trying to brand itself as, everything through the entire company follows suit. Just look at the website. The explanation of its services use more than a dozen buzz words with no explination. Looking over the executives' profiles you'll see all the titles were recently created. They gave away vp and director titles like candy over there to give the company the appearance and structure of being a big boy in the business sandbox. This is to try and target real big boy companies in it's sales pitch. Its nothing more than a business trying to get their hand in the pot without providing a product or service. Following that up, the crap it believes it's going to do and be are unrealistic and a dime a dozen. It's taken the company 20 years to grow to the point it's at now, claiming something like 50 mil a year. Lets first point out, 50 mil only passes through their hands. Even if there's an average markup it collects of atoubd 30% , that's 15 mil, broken up: about 200 employees, lets say 3/4th's are $10/hr thats about 3.5 mil, coordinators and up probably 2.7 mill, 3 facilities, 7 mil (including equipment, utilities, taxes, etc...). That pretty much everything made just the bills.It took 20 years to get where its at today. Suddenly it believes it can double that in the next 3 years. It took 20 years to finally have 50 mil pass through it, suddenly it believes it can do in 3 years what it's taken 20 to accomplish... It wants to grow into something it's not, a big data solutions provider to track facilities maintenance costs. Why would a company add in a stand alone data tracking application into it's practices. That just means the company would track those numbers on an independent system from its already implemented tracking systems that doesn't talk to each other. While big data solution provider are the next boom in business, it's a flooded market and the competition pays real professional programmers to create their solution, not just a DM admin on their spare time.
