RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at NRG Energy full-time for more than 9 years
Pros
ESPP Annual Incentive Plan (bonus) 401k employer match Health benefits
Cons
Lack of career path without moving to one of the HQ offices. Review process changes yearly. Management forces employees to complete self review and set yearly goals. A sit down meeting with supervisor is set after the self review. Little direction on goals from management.
Advice to Management
Better yearly performance review system.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at NRG Energy full-time for more than a year
Pros
NRG provided me with an experience to gain knowledge of the demand response industry. I met some of the kindest people working here. NRG is focused on supporting their customers', while also managing work life balance. My favorite part about working at NRG were the online training opportunities.
Cons
In my opinion, there is not enough transparency between management and staff. When someone has a resolution to a problem, they are often over-looked. The human resources staff is minimal and they need support when it comes to hiring the right people.
Advice to Management
There needs to be a sense of inclusion for all employees. People want to feel like they are good at their job, they need to feel appreciated by managers in order to gain security. I think NRG is on the right path to success, but there are improvements to be made first.
