• Support you need to get the job done. We offer contractors a monthly admin stipend to cover expenses like software, paper, and ink. We reimburse at $0.75/mile, over the federal mileage rate. We furnish branded gear for all the seasons at no cost to you. NIS will consider paying for additional certifications, trainings, and attendance at marketing events on a case by case basis.
• Positive team culture. Work with great people who believe that if you have to work, then work should be enjoyable. We respect that everyone has a life outside of work.
