Pros

Opportunity to move up, If you want. Great work life balance when compared with other companies in the area. Management legitimately cares about your well being and is interested in your success. Many different avenues open up for you to go down once you’re in the door.

Cons

It’s a utility, it can involve long days / hours when emergencies come up, but you are well compensated for it (unlike a few other utility companies). The work can be stressful when dealing with the different personalities involved, but it’s nothing out of the world crazy. Pros far outweigh the cons.

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.
