      Pros

      The work environment is fast paced, and it has an entrepeneurial feel. At the same time, they recognize the value of training, so during down periods it isn't frowned upon to hit the books at the office.

      Cons

      The work load is unevenly spread. There is a bit of a hero culture and that means that processes aren't all in place and policies aren't evenly enforced. Not surprising considering the pace of the environment, but there are unrestrained IT "cowboys" in the system.

      Pros

      Very competent staff, NRG employees have excellent understanding of the energy industry and how to manage the business from a risk perspective - significant improvement from a business management perspective to the former management.

      Cons

      Human Resources is not focused on retaining or developing good employees. Several very competent employees have been let go and those who remain are severely overworked. Benefits from the old Reliant company have been cut and morale is extremely low.
