Former Employee – worked at Northern Tool full-time for more than a year
Pros – If you consider a paycheck a Pro...then this job is for you.
Cons – Managers are over payed OLD RPG Programmers. If they do not like you...they will walk you out the door. This is a Sink or Swim shop...so swim at your own risk. Absolutely NO communication between management and subordinates. I went to ask a programmer a question one day and found out that they had quit over a month ago...are you kidding me?
Advice to Senior Management – Hire some REAL managers that have some people skills.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
