Pros

There are no pros; in fact, if I could give no stars, I would. Don't be fooled by their casual dress code, popcorn machines, and "spirit days." The horror of this company is masked behind trivial nonsense. I ran from here the first chance I got.

Cons

Where do I begin? I had BAD vibes my very first week, and they turned out to be accurate. All of my colleagues and managers were extremely condescending, rude and manipulative. Everyone is very quick to place blame on others to get the heat off their own back, since everyone is so "overworked." I have never encountered such a lack of teamwork in my life - everything is always a problem, and everybody just wants to argue with each other. Trust me though, they'll try to talk quietly in front of new employees so they don't scare them off. They'll also shove their "high trust" culture down your throat, which is comical based on the reality of this place. There's a ton of micro-management that goes on, and a great deal of being told to do things that are completely not within your job scope. Everyone there thinks they are entitled to have a secretary since they are too ignorant to do anything themselves. The turnover here is outrageous, and now I know why. Don't make the same mistake I did - AVOID this place at all costs. Horrible company. Horrible people.

Pros

Joining this company has been well beyond my expectations. The culture is incredibly supportive, for the talent team (Mollie) combined with the training, nothing has beenless than exceptional, and the benefits reflect a true investment in employees. It's easy to understand why the company was recognized as one of the best fintech companies to work for in 2023. From day one, I've felt welcomed, valued, and set up for success. I feel incredibly humbled and grateful to be part of such a talented and people-focused organization. If you get the chance.. dont hesitate

Cons

Wished I had started my career here years ago!

Pros

I’ve worked at North for several years and have had the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally during my time here. One of the biggest positives is that the company promotes from within and gives people opportunities to advance if they consistently perform and take initiative. Leadership roles are attainable, and hard work does get recognized. The sales environment is fast-paced and performance driven, which can be a great fit for motivated individuals who enjoy challenges and growth. I’ve worked with a lot of genuinely supportive coworkers and leaders who are willing to help newer employees develop their skills. Like most sales organizations, there can be pressure tied to goals and metrics, and work-life balance may fluctuate depending on your role and workload. The pace is not for everyone, especially if you prefer a slower or more structured environment. Communication and processes can also evolve quickly, which sometimes creates growing pains. Overall, I would recommend the company to someone who is ambitious, coachable, and looking for long-term growth opportunities in sales or payments. Your experience here will largely depend on the effort you put in and your willingness to adapt in a high-performance environment.

Cons

My cons aren’t really cons. My entire review is a pro.
