Before you take a job with National Technologies (NTI)

A practical checklist from a technician who learned it the hard way: what to read in the contract, what to put in writing, and where to find independent reviews.

If you are weighing a field or contract job with National Technologies, Inc. (NTI), read the checklist first. I worked for NTI at 84 hours a week, seven days a week, and my employment ended for "absenteeism" while I was in the emergency room with pneumonia. Most of what went wrong was written in the contract I had already signed.

The checklist below is what I wish someone had handed me. My own account and a directory of public reviews are linked after it, so you can weigh all of it yourself.
