What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

Open an upfront. I feel stuck at times but it seems that they are finally realizing that I am more than the title I currently hold.

They hold town meetings and answer individual questions.

Communication was amazing and meetings were fun

Excellent trust and opportunities for growth.

Our leadership is great at letting associates contribute to creating the work process.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Be more accessible to the employees and show you actually care

Telling us the truth at all times.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Any understanding of mental health. Help people instead of making it worse. I was made out to be the bad guy because I had anxiety and now depression. Of course I missed work. You continued to pile on the stress when YOU had options to not do so.

Empathy!!!!!! Sometimes business aspects need to be set aside. All managers forget that here!!

Accountability. Don't show favouritism. Communicate goals better

Review from Customer Support Dept

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

money, praise, promotion, praise for job well done.

Paid my student loans and health insurance

So many benefits I don't know where to begin. Tuition reimbursement is a big one. It fosters a community of learners.

Its appropriate, conpetitve and fair.

Medical, HSA, life insurance options

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

Fair pay for fair work. Nelnets CFO could be one of the greediest executives in the country. When a question came up about rewarding employees that stick loyal to nelnet and whether or not their loyalty should be rewarded via financial compensation, he said "they should be happy we give them jobs."

Its not a living wage job.

Work life balance is terrible, I work Late and most weekends just to keep up with the workload including helping other teams with their own workload and none of this hard work is recognized by the good old boy club.

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

The only thing was I was completely unprepared, however, I have been, for many years been exposed to the same. So, somewhat prepared or expect the same.

After many years of interviews, it gets easy I also study for interviews ahead--that makes it a lot easier and conversational.

Outlook Reviews

Nelnet needs to start caring about their customers and employees

Not sure but today i didnt have a good experience

Review from Customer Support Dept

Empathy is stated but missing everywhere!

Company plays favorites. You get promoted if you are well liked not for how much work you put in

Review from Customer Support Dept

Just feel under valued at times. If upper management could stop playing favorites and focus on the other hard workers they have that would be great.
