        Pros

        - The wonderful front-line people who put in their heart and soul to NLC. - Higher pay than other companies I have seen.

        Cons

        My experience working at Northwest Lineman College has left me unable to recommend it as an enjoyable place to build a career. One of the primary issues I've encountered is a noticeable absence of basic human empathy within the leadership team. This deficit in compassion makes it challenging for employees to feel genuinely valued within the organization. Also, there is a clear misalignment of values and vision among higher-level senior staff members, which creates a negative and mistrustful atmosphere that trickles down throughout the entire company. While some higher-level managers demonstrate exceptional qualities, a significant number seem to lack essential interpersonal skills. They excel at achieving objectives but fall short when it comes to genuine leadership and effective employee engagement. Work-life balance at Northwest Lineman College is unbalanced, with unrealistic expectations consistently placed on the shoulders of the staff. It's disheartening to observe how little importance is attached to prioritizing the well-being of employees. This is even more apparent with the new structure changes that have been implemented at NLC. The recent layoffs, which affected an approx. 30% of the workforce, were handled poorly, creating stress and anxiety among the remaining employees. The communication and continued communication is doing nothing but creating more mistrust, and more confusion. If you are seeking a workplace that values the mental and emotional well-being of its employees, I would strongly recommend exploring other options. It's worth noting that some of the more positive recent reviews may be from staff members who were spared from the layoffs or were promoted, which could explain their more favorable outlook on the company.

      Underwriter

      I've completed an initial phone screening interview, followed by a 2-hour interview with the Department VP. Next in the process are three separate 90-minute peer interviews. Is there a possibility of another interview after the peer interviews, or should I anticipate receiving an offer?
