Pros

Only if you really do not have any options and homelessness is near, then I would think about joining NEF

Cons

Everything. The company is poorly managed and does not invest to insure a competitive advantage. It is not innovative, nor a satisfying place to work. The business model is to sell, take the gross margin, distribute amoung the general agency managers and invest as little as possible just to pay the bills for the next month.

Pros

Flexible hours, great pension plan. Work environment is very friendly and everyone is always willing to give a helping hand. A lot of times you are able to implement your own strategies to reach your business goals without 24/7 supervisions. The system (met portal) provides everything you need to know about the company. Anything from different products to other services can be found with ease.

Cons

Sometimes managers are not available when they are needed. Very few times, there was a lack of communication between senior management and newly appointed employees about job expectations.
