      Pros

      Work life balance, friendly people, interesting sector at an interesting time, supportive and internal comms have got much better than when I joined

      Cons

      Poor project management- plan badly then hide behind consultants. Needs to change if nuclear is to succeed. Talk the talk on talent retention but haven't cracked it yet. Nuclear is the cash cow and increasingly the focus so for a long career here I'd get into the Generation business. However be aware in Nuclear it's formal and stuffy. Customers however is more 'fluffy' but faces cuts in costs to stay afloat. Paris call the shots but they don't understand the UK market outside of generation.

      Pros

      A great company that often promotes from within and works hard to develop employees professionally. Great well being package.

      Cons

      I haven't got a lot to say here really. Good comparable pay structure and work life balance. Highly recommended.

      Not a great place to work

      Customer service advisor

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The relationships with other members of staff (Some friends for life). - Free Hot & Cold Water - Free Gym

      Cons

      - Very poor work/life balance, and nothing in place to help with this - You are very much a number on a piece of paper to any level of management - It's very much a culture of 'Your face has to fit' to get anywhere (unfortunately my face doesn't seem to fit) - Having worked here just over a year, there have been no progression discussions or opportunities for this - During an 8 hour shift, you have one 36 minute lunch break, and no additional breaks - You do have the option of toilet breaks, but due to call queues this is discouraged and they have to be very short - People have been fired for a breach of policy (In particular using a mobile phone to make an important phone call), whilst other people are allowed to remain for breaking far worse company policies. - There is absolutely no recognition for a job well done, but they are quick to point out your flaws - You are constantly undermined by management all of the time, and have no room for say (In my opinion) - It's a culture of 'Put up or shut up' - I joined EDF Energy after taking a substantial pay cut (Biggest regret of my life).
