Pros

The customer service department is a very transformative, educating and enlightening position, You will learn how to articulate yourself in a professional manner, how to de-escalate, negotiate, and how to think critically among other skills. It can be very rewarding especially when you are able to resolve a problem. The people here are also great. They will do everything to help and ensure that you are successful. National Grid is also a great company to work for. National Grid provides incredible benefits, pay and above all the opportunity for growth. National Grid has changed my life.

Cons

It can be overwhelming at first and very stressful when you are learning the system and all procedures. Lots of tests, in your first year the work life balance might not be ideal but over time it certainly does improve dramatically.

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.
