Pros

Wages & benefits are competitive. The Company itself offers many opportunities to help its people.

Cons

The people they put in place are incompetent. Too many meetings and not enough time focusing on the work at hand. Upper Management has fostered a negative culture amongst their teams. They have used intimidation and bullying to get their ways. Favoritism is running wild in the organization. They hire who fits a criteria more than who is right for the job. They relocate people every 6months not allowing anyone to gain an understanding of their role or build relationships.

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.
