Happy Take Your Kids to Work Day! With everyone working safely from home this year, teammates had to get creative in order to offer a real NCSA office experience. Welcome to all of our junior teammates!
We've Got Perks, Yes We Do!
“Our goal is for our employees to feel appreciated because we know without them, we wouldn’t be able to accomplish all that we have,” said Lisa Strasman, President of NCSA.
NCSA works hard to make sure we provide employees everything they need to not only do their job but have fun at the same time. From best-in-class benefits to incentive programs, work from home opportunities and advancement options, employees are empowered to find their career at NCSA.
Take a look at some of our most-appreciated perks and benefits:
A company by athletes, for athletes
NCSA employees (referred to as “teammates” at NCSA) are excited about coming to work — we love talking sports all day and helping student-athletes find the right opportunity to take their skills to the next level. And NCSA prides itself on creating a company culture that enables its sports- and team-oriented teammates to excel, both in and out of the office.
Since most of us are former athletes in one way or another, we look for ways to stay connected to the game outside of work, and NCSA encourages us to do so. For any teammate entering an after-work sports league, NCSA contributes to the entrance cost. Plus, we often arrange our own teams throughout the year. From our pop-a-shot basketball hoop, to running the Ragnar, to company sports tournaments like our annual Flag Football Turkey Bowl, NCSA teammates know how to “work hard, play hard.”
NCSA’s team-oriented culture is also reflected in how we impact families and our community at large.
NCSA will never turn down a family based on financial reasons. We offer grants and other funding plans to ensure every qualified and committed student-athlete who needs help, gets it. Every teammate also receives paid time off to go out and give back to the community. While NCSA organizes community give back outings, individuals are also empowered to volunteer for causes they are passionate about.
NCSA in three words: team-oriented, competitive and passionate.

Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NCSA Next College Student Athlete.
Interview
I interviewed over the phone for this position as I was out of state while applying. The interview process was standard to what I’ve experienced in the past.
I was offered the position and they jumped right into talking about start date and training. I backtracked and asked about salary. They gave me a number and when I asked them about flexibility the woman I had been speaking to told me she would check on the flexibility of the salary and then get back to me, and then I never heard back - no phone call, no email.
They offered me the position and when I tried to discuss salary they completely ghosted me, they never even called or emailed me back to let me know that the salary wasn’t negotiable. I was very disappointed with how they handled what is a very standard practice when it comes to hiring and it certainly left a bad taste in my mouth regarding their professionalism and whether I would even want to work for a company that treats potential employees that way.
