Pros

Many pros on the surface but gets old. Allowed work from home but so did the whole world.

Cons

Just forget it. Everything "nice" they do for workers doesn't fully include the call center employees. Parties/food/events you'll be lucky if you can attend. Upper management only cares about ques and numbers and don't communicate info to the people who are taking the calls. They outsourced to the phillipines so the call center will probably implode like it did before. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU. They don't plan ahead, just scramble when things fall apart. Always in crisis mode.

Your feedback and low rating were very conserning to us, so I shared your posting with Jim Parkinson, our CXO, for help in responding to your comments. Jim's passionate and heartfelt response to your posting was: "I normally would not just disagree like this. I have to point out that you are 100% incorrect. In fact, the Call Center is always considered when things are planned and we ensure that you are not left out. We recently completed CS/TS town hall, where the team was taken off the phones for 1 hour to ensure you had direct communications with me. We often bring in free lunch and dinner (Pre-COVID) for the call center team. If there is an event for lunch, or at other times in the building, everyone is given time to attend. ALL holiday parties and/or events at NAB are open, and the CS/TS employees are welcome to attend. There are times that we have folks on the phones, and those folks are compensated for missing the event. We are driven by the quality of our service and not where people live. Our teams outside the US have outstanding customer support skills and outstanding test scores. The quality of service has never been higher. I fail to see why anyone would care where the call center is located. All employees have the same training and performance requirements. We live in a global society, and that enriches our ability to provide superior service. We have invested in tools, new Hardware, training and quality control system because we care about you. Yes, we care about metrics; all businesses have to focus on Critical Items to be successful. We do plan and have continued to plan, our current strategy took over one year to implement, and we did it in the middle of COVID. In contrast, I understand that we have to put pressure on the call center from time to time due to an outage or issue. The communications and information are flowing through the systems and processes the entire time. The Call Center and Tech Support teams are critical to our business strategy, and I can tell you Marc, Kirk, Kari, David, and I all pay attention and appreciate the OUTSTANDING work the team is doing. Please don't "just forget it". Every person at NAB is important and every person that is here contributes to the success of the company. For me personally, I love the Call Center Teams and what they do every day. We Care A lot ! !" Jim Parkinson CxO

Pros

Joining this company has been well beyond my expectations. The culture is incredibly supportive, for the talent team (Mollie) combined with the training, nothing has beenless than exceptional, and the benefits reflect a true investment in employees. It's easy to understand why the company was recognized as one of the best fintech companies to work for in 2023. From day one, I've felt welcomed, valued, and set up for success. I feel incredibly humbled and grateful to be part of such a talented and people-focused organization. If you get the chance.. dont hesitate

Cons

Wished I had started my career here years ago!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! Everyone on the team was absolutely thrilled to read this, and it is a true honor to have you working with us as a Partnership Director. We are glad our training and benefits made you feel supported from day one. We work hard to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed and supported from the start! This is what we call being Experience Focused. Your shout out to our training program also hits right at the heart of our core value of Intellectual Curiosity AND gave our Learning & Development team a reason to high five, so I am grateful for that! Thank you again for taking time out of your busy day to provide us with this feedback; We appreciate you!

Pros

I’ve worked at North for several years and have had the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally during my time here. One of the biggest positives is that the company promotes from within and gives people opportunities to advance if they consistently perform and take initiative. Leadership roles are attainable, and hard work does get recognized. The sales environment is fast-paced and performance driven, which can be a great fit for motivated individuals who enjoy challenges and growth. I’ve worked with a lot of genuinely supportive coworkers and leaders who are willing to help newer employees develop their skills. Like most sales organizations, there can be pressure tied to goals and metrics, and work-life balance may fluctuate depending on your role and workload. The pace is not for everyone, especially if you prefer a slower or more structured environment. Communication and processes can also evolve quickly, which sometimes creates growing pains. Overall, I would recommend the company to someone who is ambitious, coachable, and looking for long-term growth opportunities in sales or payments. Your experience here will largely depend on the effort you put in and your willingness to adapt in a high-performance environment.

Cons

My cons aren’t really cons. My entire review is a pro.
