NSF reviews about "work life balance"

Decent amount of travel, but comes with the job. Some employees were remote and now have to be hyrbid.

Horrible management and leadership. They went from bad to worst in early 2022. No compassion or empathy within the organization, zero home-work life balance and deadlines that are impossible to meet - not just internally, but externally as well.

The salary was quite low compared to the market

No room for growth or moving

Terrible training program. Have to drive an extreme amount to perform work tasks. Management only cares about number of audits performed. Company does not care about public health. Bad work life balance when it comes to travel and hours on the road. Company has no loyalty to long term employees. Will restructure and lay off 7+ year employees with no notice. Not even a goodbye from their supervisor. Stone cold heatless company. Management does not give reference calls for future jobs.

-Salaries are low in comparison to the current market. Senior management is reluctant to address this gap and as a result we are continuing to lose talent. When staff brought this concern forward to Senior Management, management dodged the question and told staff we needed to 'work harder' to meet budget so they could afford to raise salaries for existing staff. -Recently Senior management decided that they needed to have bodies back in the office in a hybrid model if you are within 25 miles so that we can collaborate more effectively. The reason for given to staff is weak at best and insensitive given the current state of the economy (gas prices, rising inflation, etc.). We continue to provide feedback as such to our managers but the management has refused to listen to their staff and communicate this to Pedro. Staff are angry and management does not seem to want to listen.

No work life balance Long hours Expect to work over 10 hour days

Work life balance, where? After laying off a large portion of auditors, those who were "lucky" were left picking up the slack. Did I mention that pay was cut by 15% during the height of the pandemic? Just enough to not qualify for partial unemployment. Quality Assurance is a joke. Dissolved the position and hired a bunch of contractors that do as they please. All in the name of "transformation". Now like testing people as "disposable workforce" (direct quote from a "secret" meeting with a former director). Inconsistent audit delivery while charging more for sub par work. A joke is what the retail audition division has become. For a not for profit organization; money is the main concern. I could go on for days, but I think I've painted a pretty enough picture. APPLICANTS BEWARE! They will bait and switch you.

Under our new President/CEO, the culture has plummeted into one of fear and chaos, as it’s now constant cuts and layoffs. Those who survived the layoffs are now leaving in droves, fearing the next round of cuts being rumored about. Operating budgets are being slashed and Capital spending frozen, yet we’re all told to do more with less staff and resources. Positions are “eliminated” and then the work is absorbed by other team members with no compensation change. NSF may technically be a not-for-profit entity, but under new executive leadership, the culture that once existed is gone, and all the remains is short-sighted greed, budget cuts, layoffs, and the death spiral of a once great company now under poor leadership.
