- “National has a very collegial and friendly environment, and there is not one person who is a jerk or difficult to deal with. The organization has a flexible work-from-home policy and gives individuals autonomy to work more efficiently. No one is bound to a 9 a.m.-to-6 p.m. schedule as long as they do their work.”
- “There are ample opportunities for career development and advancement. We invest heavily in our employees’ growth through continuous learning programs, mentorship and clear career progression paths. This helps our team members achieve their career goals and feel fulfilled in their roles.”
