Gexa Energy Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Gexa Energy full-time for more than a year

Pros – Gexa is a good company in and of itself. They are a stable REP as they are wholly owned by Nextera Energy out of Florida

Cons – Difficult to find skillsets that will stay in retail power. Brutal environment.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your people. They are your greatest asset.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Gexa Energy full-time for more than a year

Pros – There are none. There is absolutely NOTHING good about this company.

Cons – everything, the people, the leadership, the work ethic (or lack there of). Managers are only looking out for themselves, none of the managers are capable of cultivating their employees nor are they interested in any such assistance. The company has unreasonable expectations and doesn't give the employees the tools and systems needed to meet those goals. Horrible, high stress and low moral.

Advice to Senior Management – They all need to be fired. It's just a bad environment in general. My advice to management would be to kill themselves.

Current Employee – been working at Gexa Energy

Pros – Always trying to do the right thing. Salaries are competative with the marketplace. Pay is based on performance. Small group of employees who have a loud voice try to bring the company down but for the most part employees like working there.

Cons – Those that complain about the company never bring a solution. There are some employees who have flown under the radar and have extended their stay too long.

Advice to Senior Management – Take action on employees who bring the company down.

Former Employee – worked at Gexa Energy

Pros – -The hours are pretty good, most people don't stay past 5, regardless of whether they have finished their work or not. The few people who do stay past 5 are trying to finish everyone else's work so that they won't be behind in the future.
-They try to have fun outings every now and then, in almost half a year of working here, we went laser tagging once, but that's about it.
- It's not that demanding- you just show up, punch your clock, do your processes, and leave.

Cons – - Not much to moving up; you pay your dues, and move up according to how long you've been here.
-Not much time to try out other departments, so if you get hired in one department, you're stuck there.
-Very similar work every day;
- Not much opportunity to grow as a person
- Not much money allocated for personal development; including extra schooling.

Advice to Senior Management – Make working at Gexa fun and exciting. I understand it's about maximizing revenue and minimizing costs, but spend some to make this facility somewhere you wouldn't ever want to leave. There's a reason why people joke about how high the attrition rate is.

Current Employee – been working at Gexa Energy

Pros – Great place to gain knowlege of the energy industry and then move on. They offer flex time in some departments.

Cons – They very rarely hire contractors. Majority of their employees are contractors. Turn over is high. Your training is OTJ nothing is standarized nor documented, yet you are held accountable. Permanent employees are very young and eager to crawl the corporate letter and willing to do everything and anything to get to the top. Local human resources is very weak and unfamiliar on handle employee situations.

Advice to Senior Management – Management needs to be more personal and on the floor. They need to back their word and show that their are career paths.

Former Employee – worked at Gexa Energy

Pros – Great wok environment with laid back employees. The pay is very fair and the supervisors are very understanding when it comes to time off.

Cons – Horrible communication between departments, the workload is way too excessive because the corporate office would not allow us to hire to cut costs. Absolutist no trai ing structure all trial by fire or learn from asking co workers. It seemed like the supervisors and bosses never knew what was been done or the type of work you were doing.

Advice to Senior Management – Communicate more with your employees. Start or atleast pretend that you care about your employees and their overall well being. Be more involved with everything it would make everyone life easier.

Current Employee – been working at Gexa Energy

Pros – -Work Life balance is okay
- Very smart people that are go getters

Cons – -Senior Management doesn't have a clue as to what issues their employees encounter internally
-Compensation is far below competitors in the industry
-Senior Management are not leaders, they are followers who make knee jerk reactions instead of being progressive
-No room for professional growth within the company
-There are very smart people in the company who are being used in the wrong capacity and/or who will never be given the opportunity to lead or be properly utilized even.

Advice to Senior Management – A basic course in business management would serve Management well. Your employees are not inferior subordinates. There are many talented people who are educated and experienced within the company, find ways to keep and utilize these people.
