Pros

The only pro about NEN is that you are able to drive a company vehicle around on a specified route and are generally unsupervised.

Cons

I worked at NEN full time for almost a year. I had two weeks of "training" from several different people who really had no idea what they were doing and i eventually had to learn how to do everything myself. When i told the territory manager of this problem he pretty much shrugged it off, he also had a hard time understanding English. I was given outdated route information, if i were to call a repair specialist for one of the machines he would either not answer the phone or be extremely disrespectful towards me to the point where i would just want to hang up, pretty much no help whatsoever with a "you can't fix it yourself?" attitude even though i had been on the job for less than a month, didn't receive ANY training on how to fix the machines, and didn't even receive the proper tools i needed to fix these machines from the company. I HAD TO BUY THE TOOLS MYSELF OUT OF POCKET. If you are going to work for NEN, be prepared for low pay (12$ an hour to do the amount of work that most people do for 18-20$ an hour), disrespect, and a generally unprofessional environment where "specialists" don't even understand what they are supposed to do.

Pros

Work on your own. Company Provided Car

Cons

I worked there for two weeks and thankfully something else was offered to me at another company so i took it. I will review what i seen during my two week stay. First off there training is very unorganized, when hired i was told there was no one to train me, so during the first few days i was doing odd jobs here and there. Eventually when i was trained i noticed the employees were not happy with what they were doing, i was told how management likes to micro-manage everything you do, for instance at every stop they would want a picture of your "merchandised" machine emailed to one of the managers so they could see it, say whats wrong with it then email it back to you, there was also a mix of managers, sometimes i noticed instead of going through chain of command, a senior manager would contact the driver rather than the lower management. Paperwork, noticed there was lots of paper work that each needed to go to various people, very unorganized. Company overloads employees with to many machines and expects them to do a list of micro managed tasks at each stop, which if you did you would be out 12+ hours. Company doesnt pay for the 1st 30 Minutes you leave your home to your stop, then when your at your last stop thats when your time ends, so if your away from home 2 hours that 2 hour drive is NON-PAID. You must go back and stockup at the warehouse and deposit your collected funds at the bank ON YOUR TIME, as THEY DONT PAY YOU FOR THAT TIME.

Pros

Work your own hours, not days of week though. Work on your own.

Cons

Very poor training. Very unorganized and inefficient. Poor communication. Extreme cleanliness standards and micro-management (to the detriment of sales and other key business functions). Constant changes of policies and procedures. Overwhelming and unattainable standards. Upper management is intimidating, fearful, threatening and verbally abusive. Employees on edge for fear of losing job. 35% pay cuts. Area manager is horrible - constant nagging, degrading, profanity and tearing down employees. Management loves to write-up employees for every little thing they can conceive. Poor route coverage while on vacation. Management neglects to have product for weeks and months at a time, consistent lack of parts and supplies to perform job to company standards. Paid twice a month instead of every 2 weeks. Company allows tags to expire on vehicles. Very poorly ran company!
