Pros

Great managers. Training was very informative and the trainer was very good . Your managers are always there for you and want you to succeed . Insurance benefits were great . Pay rate the best I have seen for call center agents.

Cons

Very fast paced work environment Need to be prepared to dive right in when you get on the phones . Some days you will take 100 calls a day . Customers can be angry due to the nature of the Business but the company gives you a lot of tools to be able to handle every difficult situation that could arise .

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.
