RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at National Federation of Independent Business full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
The sky is the limit for income. Great emphasis placed on motivating employees. Rewards for goals met are generous. Opportunity to learn and grow in position and to move up as well. Co workers are amazing and supportive.
Cons
You must be self motivated and a hard worker. You get out of this job what you put into it. The only limit is your own effort.

Pros
I have been at NFIB for 16 years! The absolute best part of my job is our members, small business owners, who I consider my real bosses. As an organization, the passion to fight for and represent NFIB is first. The compassion to help each member of the team succeed is always present. If you truly believe in supporting free enterprise and want a career where you can make your success, then join NFIB. Member advocacy wants...

If you are not a self-starter that can work collaboratively then this is not for you. But I don't really see this requirement as a con either.
Advice to Management
Continue the strategic plan! Moving forward has been the best! And thank you!

Pros
It’s slightly better than pumping outhouses.
Cons
It’s sad to have to prey on the oppressed, the aged and the naive small and family-owned business owner on a daily basis. They will tell you to just push-on but everyday becomes a pitiful journey of deceit as you pull doors and have to recite that out-of-date script they will make you memorize. My advise, keep looking. You’re better than what this place has to offer. I was excited about all of the high-commissions they...

I worked at National Federation of Independent Business full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
extreme autonomy, high pay for high achievers, being outside. plenty of sales support.
Cons
many upsides are other peoples downsides. extreme autonomy for me was actually a con in the end as i got very depressed being alone all the time. There was no central office which was a benefit as I didnt have to reach a base and then drive a different direction however being alone all the time didnt work for me. If i could have worked as a team in a territory then i would have done this job forever.
Advice to Management
none really. Yall were awesome. Perhaps having a split territory option where two people can work in tandem throughout the week and work off each others energies.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at National Federation of Independent Business full-time for more than 6 years
Pros
Hours (although getting worse), benefits
Cons
100% commission; no PTO; management trying to cut out us, the middlemen, in renewing memberships to save commissions. Income has dropped 30% from 2016. Unless you are a top producer, which is all manipulated, you're SOL
Advice to Management
Advocate for your hard-working employees. We've got bills to pay
National Federation of Independent Business2018-07-02July 9, 2018 – National Employment Manager
Thank you for your comments. 100% commission can be a great opportunity with a non-capped earnings potential for individuals who follow best practices and keep their positive energy flowing. NFIB has many long term employees from fifteen to thirty years who utilize best practices ...
