NRG Energy locations

If you get lucky and are a fairly productive worker, you’ll have stable employment.

Billion dollar company stingy with perks. Managers who play predictable Corporate office politics. Will drill you with 3x the workload but don’t expect raises with your actual contribution UNLESS you’re socially acceptable or chummy chummy with the bosses.

None anymore! My new job after leaving this place makes NRG look like a prison. Toxic. Heartless. More interested in squeezing every ounce of effort out of workers til it impacts your health and their ability to overwork you without a second care about your wellness.

Bumped into him in an elevator ride after a lunch break once. Pleasant human being. But if crap rolls downhill? There’s your reason management is cold, manipulative, greedy and treats employees like robotic parts.

Dismiss all managers maintaining toxic work culture. Award raises commiserate with positive annual reviews and hire enough staff so departments aren’t getting off by overworking good workers for pennies on the dollar.

Standard approach. If they identify you as productive and a candidate lacking strong boundaries on worklife balance or unwillingness to speak up when they’ve forced you to routinely work beyond 40+ hours a week given workload, expect an offer. But be forewarned! Get paid your worth upfront! Too many of their managers get off underpaying. Probably a bonus incentive on management’s end.

Basic but nothing special.

Surprisingly strong. But don’t be fooled! This company definitely has a “profile type” that advances here. During COVID they sent an email claiming a desire to address equitable salary discrimination by race. Immediate red flag to me! It was never resolved as they claimed it would be remedied during my 7 years.

Feeling supported. Being compensated appropriately for my contribution. And being afforded the necessary time needed for a job well done.

Possibly returning to office instead of working from home.
