      Great Benefits, Could Be Better

      Pros

      I've worked for both unions (local 97 and local 97C) and now most recently I work for management. If you are going to work here, definitely start applying for a union position, while the pay in management might be better, the benefits of being in a union outweigh the salary. Vacation time, holiday pay, sick leave, healthcare, 401K, dental, etc - WITH the safety net of an union backing you. They are working to make most positions hybrid due to the pandemic which supports a better work-life balance. You are guaranteed raises, bonuses, and a living wage increase every fiscal year (which SHOULD be the standard)

      Cons

      The vacation time compared to similar companies is laughable. My partner works for RG&E (Avangrid) and receives 6 weeks of vacation at point of hire. The most I've received after working for NationalGrid after 4 years is 3 weeks vacation. Seniority Matters: Working in the union means seniority matters for vacation bids, shift bids, and any other job offers. A lot of employees have worked there 30+ years, so unless you're there for the long haul, you will get the worst of what's left over.

      Interesting Work

      Pros

      It seems uncommon to work for a Utility that is trying to be a good environmental steward but here you can take any number of jobs that align with those ideals. There are so many good people, and the corporate culture seems to lean towards people who care about people and the world.

      Cons

      Working for any big company can be exhausting because you simply can't know what's going on everywhere. Outdated IT equipment and software.
