      Pros

      Our associates are the best of the best. We operate at a level of integrity and respect far beyond usual corporate expectations. This is the most transparent company you will find. We truly care about the success and growth potential of every candidate. As long as you are willing to invest in your own success, we are more than willing to invest in you! Your work ethic will determine your success and your income. Feel free to give yourself a raise anytime. We will come alongside you and show you how. 150-200 k in a few years is truly accessible.

      Cons

      This is the most worthwhile work you could do and the most difficult simultaneously. Saving a nation is hard work. You must be a hunter who can manage attitude and effort. Fearlessness is necessary when cold calling. 100% commission means there is no guarantee and no cap on earnings.

      Advice to Management

      We are in a tremendous growth cycle which means there is huge potential for management opportunities.

      Pros

      Culture that encourages risk and has tremendous rewards. Owners that care about the people working here. A great training program that shows how much we care.

      Cons

      Making our name better known so we aren't the best kept secret anymore.

      Advice to Management

      Keep listening to the field. Never get too far away from the direct salespeople we have.

      Pros

      Simply the best training and employer I have ever had in my long career. Not only does a new sales rep get some great in-field training and support the first month and more, the rep then gets to go to an advanced training at headquarters in TX- so useful and well formatted!
      In addition, the job to help small businesses gain an effective voice to Congress and receive actual facts and updates is what our Founding Fathers would be very proud of!
      If outside sales is in your general interest, this is for you.

      Cons

      Independent contractor position, but NWYC helps support the ability to put aside the taxes and insurance money needed.
      Orders still done somewhat manually and on the computer also, could be streamlined.

      Advice to Management

      Keep up the impressive training format and support, it really makes a difference!

      I have been working at NWYC full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      It is my job, like my own business. I get paid well for my hard work. I get to keep my book of business year after year by renewing them in person, so I make more money every year. The company has been around a long time. The training is good and they don't just forget about you.

      Cons

      The first year, especially the first few months were not the easiest. I had to learn a presentations to start and they are serious about that. It was worth it, though.

      I have been working at NWYC full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      NWYC is a good place to be. I've worked here for three years and plan to continue until I retire. It is the best "job" I have had, but I would not even call it that. It is more of a mission that actually pays me very well. I was trained well and continue to get training when I need it, even now, and I am a trainer myself.

      Cons

      I work very hard, and sometimes I run into people who have no interest or theur frustration with the country is overwhelming. I have to keep going to get to see the people who want a membership. Some weeks are lighter than others, so I have to plan for that when I have a great week or month. In the beginning it was harder than it is now. If you cannot work alone, this is not for you.

      Advice to Management

      I love the recognition we get. Please don't change.

      I have been working at NWYC full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      Established company, since 1958. No layoffs, ever.
      Treats home office staff and sales force like family. Recently updated employee handbook and started regular home office meetings. This helps keep everyone updated and on the same page. Home office staff if very close-knit group and works really hard to support the nationwide sales force and members.
      Nonpartisan information, rare these days!
      Constantly working on new apps to help members easily stay informed on pending legislative issues tax changes etc.
      Focused on getting people informed AND involved in government issues. "We the People"

      Cons

      Although a nation-wide company, it can still feel like a small family owned company. Some people love that (I do), but others have a more difficult time adjusting to that type of structure.
      Minimal room for advancement within home office positions. On the other hand, each position has more opportunities then you would in a large corporation.

      I'm just coming on board with this company and I have to say... it feels good to be offering something to the public that actually HELPS our country.
