Pros

Getting paid to stand around and do nothing on site because there’s so many engineers on one job

Cons

Management literally non existent until they want to discipline you Felt like I didn’t have a real job I was just there to make up numbers and no one even needed my services I was just there because I had to be. No support from superiors. Sinking ship see you in 5 years with a different energy company. Management all ex British Gas which lack respect or empathy for staff they manage.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
