Unclear direction and biased management - Anonymous employee NextWave Partners Employee Review

Working w/ NextWave has been a really great experience with my boss actually helping me get closer to my personal goals. They are building my development around what I want to accomplish when I leave in the future. It's quite a transparent culture where you work hard and they will treat you well.

There is oftentimes a lack of organization and structure that leads to extra work on each individual's part, however, it is improving every day.

You have the chance to make your own wages here. The base salary is low, but there's potential to earn a high commission if you're motivated. For someone just starting out, it's a solid opportunity to get your foot in the door at a recruitment firm and work your way up.

Working under higher management was a challenge. There were frequent disagreements during team calls that often disrupted the whole team. It felt like there was a lack of real leadership, and instead of fostering a culture of listening and collaboration, it often seemed like we were being pitted against each other. Gaslighting was a common experience—managers would tell you you’re doing well, but then set expectations you weren't even aware of. The old-school, micromanaging approach made it hard to feel trusted or valued. Unfortunately, in just six months, we lost half of our North American team, which speaks volumes about the environment.
