Pros
Loved working there three years ago. That was then.
Cons
NextGear Capital offered employees a prize ... IF we write a positive review online. My co-worker at Nextgear got fired the day after he politely suggested that "it might be unethical to incentivize writing positive reviews." NEXTGEAR FIRED HIM for suggesting that paying for Glassdoor reviews might be unethical. For well over a year, I worked with NextGear and by all accounts I was an excellent employee. I knew then that employees, IF discovered that they left a less-than-positive review of the company, were promptly terminated (overtly for some unrelated reason). A wise co-worker of mine quit the day before I was fired, and he received the 2017 bonus. By getting rid of employees before issuing of the 2017 bonus, NextGear could save money. My co-worker anticipated this and quit. Since they fired me for an error in a 2017 files that say they discovered just before issuing the bonus in February 2018, I did not get the bonus. Had I known they were gonna pull this crap, I would've quit like my wise co-worker. For what it's worth, I make fewer errors than my teammates, and I've often corrected their errors and filed their reports without mentioning it to anyone. Because I consider them my friends. I still have not been informed what the mysterious error in that report back in 2017 was. The way the audits are done and errors are found and reported is biased and political. Unfair practices all around. I was probably one of NextGear's best employees--others, higher up than me, have said so. Never missed a day of work, always punctual, kept the peace (was the office peace-maker), didn't bring any drama to the office which often was riddled with drama), I kept everything together. At least one superior has told me that she didn't approve of the way this whole debacle (my termination) was handled. Terminated for an error back in 2017. NextGear sat on this knowledge without informing me, waiting until February to suddenly terminate me (just before they would've had to pay me the 2017 bonus). No bonus. No severance. No 2 weeks notice. No class. I go into work one day, and am told to hit the road because of an error they knew about 3 months prior. In 2017, after an issue in my report was discovered (an issue that cost NextGear a lot of money), all my teammates said, "I would've done the same thing." Everyone agreed this was clearly NextGear policy. Everything I did in that report was strictly according to company policy. But THIS time... ...it cost NextGear money, so they used me as the scapegoat and formally reprimanded me for it. "You have issues with not filing." I will take responsibility if I've done something wrong. ...but that was NOT my fault. They said that was the reason I got written up, "got coached." It's a dirty way to get rid of somebody.
