Northland Communications Reviews

Pros

Speaking with great people

Cons

Assisting the customers with their needs

Pros

Small company , family oriented, tight knit group of employees.

Cons

Pay was ok for a sales role. Health benifits were expensive for single and even worse for family. The owner claims they try to get a better rate but only as long as they do business with the company that serves the policy. The only thing the sales director cares about is your numbers. Effort and learning curve mean nothing. Also, you have to be "a good fit" for her as well. She has random mood swings and does follow her own advice. Training could be much better also. But if you get in the clique, it's all good!!!! Good people mostly but working there offers no room to move as they are all lifers. The comp plan sucks. Relationship manager splits the commission with sales folks, even though they have nothing to do with your sale!!! You need to be heavy in the community and if not it will be reflected on your review.

Pros

The environment at Northland can be very fulfilling. It is not a typical corporate setting with many levels of red tape. If you are willing to work hard and communicate accordingly, your future there can be rewarding.

Cons

The management there is very old school and have very successful with this style. Going forward however, they need to expand their views if they are going to continue to grow.

Pros

A place to receive great fringe benefits such as low cost Internet and Cable TV. Also a great place to meet lots of different types of people from all different ways of life.

Cons

Placed technical people under non-technical managers. Considered this unwise because the bosses would not be able to understand what the technicians are doing.

Pros

Northland used to be a great place to work. Employees ideas were used to help formulate company policy. Respect was give to experience. THe best thing I can say now is that there is respect for family at Northland. When time is needed to deal with family issues, it was granted without question.

Cons

Numbers are king and experience means nothing. If you can't quantify what you want to do in numbers, it is a bad decision.

Pros

Family focused Works hard to take care of their customers

Cons

Difficult industry in a tough economy
