A Culture of Fear

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, benefits, and time off. Nothing extraordinary, though. Treats in the office Casual dress code Somewhat flexible schedule

Cons

If you want to work somewhere that has cultivated a negative, fearful atmosphere, this is the place for you. Lots of turnover, high school cliques, favoritism, pressure to move up the company ladder, mandatory overtime (that they describe as "encouraged," but it really is mandatory), managers on power-trips, etc. I wish I would've left much, much sooner! This place is bad for your mental health and work/life balance. If you don't want to eat, sleep, and breathe NSI, don't work here.
