      Too big to honestly care about people, only liability

      Pros

      They pay higher than average for the industry.

      Cons

      They pay higher than average for the industry, but only because it is the most effective way to keep everyone’s nose down, tolerate egotistical VPs and screaming & cussing HR directors (they call themselves “talent and culture” lol). Too big to fail- it’s all about the stock price. Nearly every power plant NRG owns and operates for other owners are understaffed such that personnel spend more time at work than away, but fear of being replaced in the name of “the energy grid comes first” and all the threats, lies, promises, that keep one beholden to them. Why are all the VPs millionaires off the sweat of the real workers? Distributing, repeating, and lecturing on policies is really not worth their bloated salaries.
