Pros

- Most people are nice and chill - decent office - pay is okay

Cons

- poor leadership from directors and senior management - very boring, feels like your waiting for the clock to turn because there is nothing exciting happening - lack of opportunity to learn and grow - have to kiss manager butt for perception - managers are very catty, emotional, and react on feelings and will quickly throw lower level employees under the bus for their own mistakes - if you work in credit there are better more advanced places to work and make more money - unfair remote work practices - HR is an absolute joke

Pros

The advantages working at NRG were that they have a 401K plan (on which they offer a match), HSA, health insurance plans, and a decent time off period. Leadership listens to the employees and always promote team mentality, cross training and, cross collaboration.

Cons

It really is a good company to work for and in hindsight, should have just stayed there.

Pros

Variety of projects, opportunities to collaborate across teams, and exposure to different areas of the business.

Cons

Frequent leadership turnover creates constant shifts in priorities and makes it difficult to maintain long-term direction (I had eight different managers over seven years). Annual layoffs, often occurring around January, contribute to ongoing uncertainty and low morale. Many employees perceive the layoffs as happening in smaller rounds, which adds to the sense that job security is unpredictable. The culture can also feel cliquish, and your experience depends heavily on your manager; some teams foster collaboration, while others are more micromanagement-driven and less receptive to differing viewpoints.
