Pros

Positive work environment where employees are valued. Pay is competitive and the industry is on the move so there is a lot of changes in the business. The Company supports employees moving and growing into leadership roles or finding work in another location (within the service territory).

Cons

At times, the work can be damanding. Utilitiy work requires the ability to clear your schedule in an emergency. However, they do a great job of recognizing the personal sacrafice in those instances and treats people with respect.

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.
