Pros

- Management is always trying to do their best to assist you - Unlike most companies I feel that National Grid takes their time to train and make sure their people understand the work they are taking on -We as National Grid employees have many opportunities and routes to look at for advancement

Cons

-Our scheduling hours are very long, if you are not prepared to work and take only a few days off this position is not for you. -You are dealing with high stress calls, people are calling in when things have gone very bad for them. You must be able to separate yourself while also showing empathy.

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.
