Pros

Good work schedule and work life balance. Strong health insurance benefits. Job security, this is the sorta place they all talk about having you there in 20 years and many/most of the people have been.

Cons

Not a great company culture, very much the feeling that upper management is looking out more for the bottom line than employees. Poor existing company culture was made worse by lack of appropriate support or realistic goals for work, which lead to a defeatist attitude.

Pros

Great atmosphere to work in, positive encouragement from team leaders. You get breaks and lunch during your shift. on site cafeteria and onsite parking. Great career prospects.

Cons

Every minute is monitored, feedback given for any mistakes you make by peers and managers constantly. No training package unless your on GT calls. Expected to get up to speed quickly. Pressure on you to perform well and resolve issues quickly as possible. Don't expect to be promoted if your employed by pertemps at national grid some people have been there 12 years and still agency
