Pros

At the NRG Gladstone PowerStation the community and workplace culture is very positive. There's much to be said in terms of enjoyment of workload, especially so for relationship with colleagues. I'd highly recommend working here given the opportunity.

Cons

The structure of the organization is ambiguous. In terms of clear job titles and understanding of roles, more simply do 'their part'. Being that the turnover is <5%, much of the workforce has been around for 20+ years. And with managerial turnover, employees have been forced to fulfil leadership gaps over the years. So the best of GPS does much more than what is required, albeit none of this is well documented. As a result, introduction to a role here can be challenging as no handover is thorough enough to detail all the unspoken responsibility. In short, it takes time to build momentum when starting here. Fortunately the teams are very supportive and understanding of this.

Pros

- Fast growing, safe business model as Energy Retailer (Direct Energy) - Professional Corporate work culture - Great office & amenities - Hybrid or Remote working option available for most roles - Polite co-workers - Great work life balance - Unlimited PTO (subject to Manager's approval based on deal flows and busy last quarter of the year) - Supportive work culture for you to excel and move into other departments every 12-18months, if you so desire :-)

Cons

Can't think of any - this might be general "individual issues" (nothing I'm too worried about)
