Pros

You get the opportunity to work from home and have somewhat of a flexible personal life. You get health benefits and discounts at certain places.

Cons

Sometimes impossible to keep calls under a certain time limit and get reprimanded for longer calls not under your control. Management is very unorganized and often has limited knowledge on company police’s and advises you incorrectly, which causes you to be reprimanded by a manger higher up. You get a time limit on a bathroom break. If you have technical difficulties due to company’s fault, especially for an extended amount of days, you will NOT get paid, although it was the company’s fault. It is promised that you will have rotated weekends, but that’s not the case. Weekends are very hectic because often there are slim to none workers available. If the company decides to close on an holiday last minute, it is an MUST that you work in your off day, even if you had plans intl your off day. And lastly the amount work load and requirements does not add up to the pay and it’s hard to have career advancement here.

Pros

At NGED the few pros are lessened by the day as the cons are increasing. The idea of a career has gone and now most are resigned to just having a job.

Cons

Aside from the reality being very different from what the leadership team sell IE they don't care about people or net zero, it's all spin and marketing. Now at NGED we are in a situation where staff you have known for many years simply disappear from duty and no one seems to know why, a couple of weeks later they have left the business with an NDA. It's happening all over the business. There seems to be a drive to remove any leaders who have industry technical knowledge and replace them with people from outside the industry who knows little to nothing about electricity. Despite safe to say being an important value, speaking out against this usually results in an NDA. It's toxic positivity where playing along seems to be more important than the role you fulfil.
