Pros

You get the opportunity to work from home and have somewhat of a flexible personal life. You get health benefits and discounts at certain places.

Cons

Sometimes impossible to keep calls under a certain time limit and get reprimanded for longer calls not under your control. Management is very unorganized and often has limited knowledge on company police’s and advises you incorrectly, which causes you to be reprimanded by a manger higher up. You get a time limit on a bathroom break. If you have technical difficulties due to company’s fault, especially for an extended amount of days, you will NOT get paid, although it was the company’s fault. It is promised that you will have rotated weekends, but that’s not the case. Weekends are very hectic because often there are slim to none workers available. If the company decides to close on an holiday last minute, it is an MUST that you work in your off day, even if you had plans intl your off day. And lastly the amount work load and requirements does not add up to the pay and it’s hard to have career advancement here.

Pros

I cannot say enough about how great a company National Grid is. I’ve been here for over four years, and there is truly a culture where employees are encouraged to share their voices. The company regularly conducts surveys to understand how employees are feeling, what they need, and what matters to them... and then transparently shares the results with everyone. I have never experienced this level of openness with any other employer, and I know that none of my friends or family have had similar opportunities. It says a lot that so many employees want their family members to work here as well. Working at National Grid is more than just a job, it’s a lifestyle, and there is a strong sense of pride in being part of the organization. As a woman, I am proud to be part of this “brotherhood” and have never felt that this is a male‑dominated space. There are many opportunities across the company, from field operations to management, depending on your interests. Compensation is competitive and rewards both experience and performance. Remote and hybrid work are sometimes an option, which to me shows a level of trust and respect for employees. I only wish I had joined earlier in my career.

Cons

I do wish there were more opportunities available in Western New York. Many roles seem to be concentrated in Central New York, Eastern New York, or downstate, and it would be great to see additional positions (for others to join the company) closer to home in WNY.
