Northwest Lineman College Reviews

Pros

NLC cares deeply about their employees, and ensures that they are not only well compensated, but that they are provided a productive and healthy work environment as well. Even with rapid growth the culture promotes a cohesive team of A players--I seriously work with the greatest and best people. Always dynamic, innovative, and committed to their core values of Passion, Integrity, and Excellence.

Cons

Because of rapid growth and expansion of training offerings, there is constant change which can be challenging. I don't mind it, but if you're not flexible and easily adapt to change it probably isn't the best fit for you.

Pros

Hi levels of camaraderie. Great pay. Great satisfaction from student success. No call outs. Half-day Fridays. Good benefits. Extra pay for additional training. Opportunities to train in every area of power delivery. appreciation for management = straight talk & profit-sharing

Cons

None. Sometimes it gets repetitive but you learn to deal wi sometimes it gets repetitive.

Pros

The students are great to teach and build relationships with.

Cons

The staff is phony at every level. Opinions aren't considered. $13,000 for 15 weeks. And the students are simply educated ground help. A REAL college is cheaper than that.

Pros

The college places the highest value on attracting and retaining highly qualified individuals. To accomplish this wages and benefits are very desirable. A huge pro is that they have an internal training department which provides training and education improving the effectiveness of each employee. The college is committed to and has received awards for work schedule flexibility. Employees are always provided the resources they need to perform their jobs at a high level. The college is receptive to change and encourages innovation at all levels. Outstanding performance is recognized through a high level awards program. The power delivery and communications Industries are dynamic which makes training and education extremely important. The various training services create an invigorating and rewarding environment since they provide such positive impact on the trainees. The college has grown to the point where there are career opportunities for advancement. The best place I have ever worked.

Cons

For the training staff working at the college removes you from the day to day reality of the industry so you need to make a special effort to stay connected with what is going on outside the college. This is not difficult if you connect with individuals in the trade and keep up on changes through the typical information sources - internet, trade magazines etc.

Pros

Not only do I get to work with awesome people, I have the ability to demonstrate my passion for life long learning. The company has a corporate university where I can take classes during work hours!

Cons

Because there are so many exciting things going on, it is hard to find the time to focus on them all.
