Pros

I have nothing good to say about the company, but some of the people I worked with were wonderful.

Cons

In my years at NRG, I have witnessed many disturbing things. The upper management at my former location allowed some employees to completely disregard the rules and display blatant disrespect for their coworkers. They like to play favorites. Some can take their PTO, even WAY more than they were allotted....buy then again, some have complete control over the timekeeping system. Some can work from home, while others cannot (even though they hold the same position). Some can cuss out the boss and get away with it, while others get ostracized and left out of opportunities for simply asking a question. Management ALLOWS their employees to rule over others, regardless of seniority or knowledge. I'm not saying this happens at all locations, just the one I was a part of for over a decade. Basically, if you choose to work here....don't open your mouth, don't use your vacation time unless you're a part of the 'clique' and definitely do not make a mistake. One of the other admin assistants will storm your office, tell you how stupid you are and not "allow" you to do certain parts of YOUR job......while the boss cowers in his office. So glad to be gone from that awful place!
