Pluspunten

There are a few good people there. Benefits are okay. Volunteer program is good, but it's under strict watch.

Minpunten

There are great people who work for this company, but no leadership to help support them. I didn't leave because of the job itself, I left because of the management. I really did want to stay, but immaturity leads to poor leadership and I wasn't getting the training and respect I deserved. The culture is absolutely awful. Horrible work/life balance and absolutely no trust. So much negativity and unprofessional language around the office. Most people are only there as a filler job until something better comes along. No sick or vacation time!! The president of NSI is an absolute joke. He doesn't care about his employees, all he cares about is "are we making money?" Tells you to do personal favors for him, but doesn't let you take your own personal time away from "on the clock" time. Very negative about himself, and is very out of touch with his employees. There needs to be an evaluation of his position in order to help the company grow. It all trickles from the top down.

We appreciate that you are sharing your experiences here, and we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy working for us. We take pride in our high standard of performance, and thus, working for us is not a fit for everyone. While we are always looking for ways to improve our work/life balance for our valuable employees, we strive to let new hires know that this is a fast-paced environment. We are certainly appreciative of the hard work many of our employees put forth every day. It should also be noted that we do have vacation policies that are comparable to other companies of our size.

The reason why I decided to make the move to NetStandard: I asked some of the current employees the simple question - Are you happy here at NetStandard? The employees I asked said nothing but great things about the CEO & President, the Senior Leadership team and fellow coworkers. The honesty I received was more than enough to make the switch to NetStandard.

Minpunten

This is a competitive market - but the owners want to win more than the other companies that are not from KC

As you know, integrity is one of our core values, so it's great to hear that reflected in what you heard from coworkers. Recruiting good people is almost as competitive as being an IT services provider, so I appreciate your feedback and your honest review. - js

Pluspunten

Netstandard offers decent benefits. Pretty okay health coverage for its size. Okay work-life balance. Easy to take PTO. The retirement plan fully vests the company match after three years. Parking was free for the office unlike other Kansas City offices. Scheduled remote work days were allowed. Manager was accommodating with adjusted start times for school drop-offs.

Minpunten

The company consistently loses younger help desk staff and engineers due to a lack of proper training and system documentation, often throwing new hires in without support. Management openly criticizes employees’ personal lives and skill levels out loud, in the office. Client documentation is minimal to nonexistent, as employees fear losing their jobs. Heavy-ish work load depending on how many clients. The fractional HR function is largely ineffective and offers little support. If you take PTO while on-call, there is a real risk that your manager will fail to inform the help desk and they'll constantly call you. As staff leave and open positions remain unfilled, on-call rotations become MUCH more frequent. Performance reviews appear to be performative and passive aggressive. You will get very little value from these if your manager decides to actually do them. Volatile office politics contribute to an unstable and stressful work environment.
