      Revolving door of constant crises

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Very cool members and exposure to interesting projects and startup ventures. Free classes and access to the workshop equipment.

      Cons

      Upper management so far removed from the day to day operations, they have no idea what can be accomplished in a set amount of time with the number of people performing blended roles (more than one job.) Constantly shifting priorities due to a reactionary culture. There is no real business plan so all one can do is respond to shiny object syndrome thinking this new initiative is gonna change the whole outlook and finally make it a profitable company. Toxic leadership that insinuates you should be grateful for being offered a pay cut.

      Nextfab is a place like no other

      Business outlook

      Pros

      A fun yet challenging place to work especially if you are a creative type person. Use of shops, tools and equipment after hours to work on your own projects. Networking with other makers. You'll meet some very interesting people.

      Cons

      Wages are generally less that those of comparable positions. Health benefits are ok if you are young, healthy and single. Otherwise it's a high employee contribution and expensive to actually use. High out of pocket costs. Customer service is a key component of the job and you should be able to work well with the general public. Not a regular 9-5, prepare to work on weekend.

      The company offers two plans for employees to choose from: an HMO Gold plan, and a Personal Choice Silver plan. We pay the full premium for the employee and subsidize their dependents’ benefits by 28.5%. The HMO plan has no deductible and has a copay of $40 to see a PCP, $80 to see a specialist. Urgent care is $100, Emergency room is $500. The Personal Choice plan is a high deductible, HSA plan. The deductible is $3000. After the deductible, copay on PCP, specialists, urgent care and emergency room is 20%.
