Pros

Great atmosphere to work in, positive encouragement from team leaders. You get breaks and lunch during your shift. on site cafeteria and onsite parking. Great career prospects.

Cons

Every minute is monitored, feedback given for any mistakes you make by peers and managers constantly. No training package unless your on GT calls. Expected to get up to speed quickly. Pressure on you to perform well and resolve issues quickly as possible. Don't expect to be promoted if your employed by pertemps at national grid some people have been there 12 years and still agency

Pros

At NGED the few pros are lessened by the day as the cons are increasing. The idea of a career has gone and now most are resigned to just having a job.

Cons

Aside from the reality being very different from what the leadership team sell IE they don't care about people or net zero, it's all spin and marketing. Now at NGED we are in a situation where staff you have known for many years simply disappear from duty and no one seems to know why, a couple of weeks later they have left the business with an NDA. It's happening all over the business. There seems to be a drive to remove any leaders who have industry technical knowledge and replace them with people from outside the industry who knows little to nothing about electricity. Despite safe to say being an important value, speaking out against this usually results in an NDA. It's toxic positivity where playing along seems to be more important than the role you fulfil.
