Pros

Job stability. Decent start pay and great benefits. Great learning experience.

Cons

If you do not have a 4 year degree, you will go nowhere. Marketing is the place to be. Butt kissing is the key to success here. Honest work and performance count for little. No raises for a few years. appear to be dumbing down the professional service NI used to offer their customers by the Technical Sales department. Customers complaints are unheard. And somehow, management thinks it's the Representatives fault for not conveying the new structure to the customer. They do not want to hear that the customer wants to speak to their loyal service provider, that has been supporting them over the years, directly. This used to be such a great company. Lack in monetary compensation was offset by happy customers, perks, respect from management and comfortable work environment.
