Pros

Working there will shorten your life expectancy, reducing the overall time you suffer.

Cons

Do you like disorder? Do you like misery? How about constantly being emotionally beaten down until you've become someone you don't recognize anymore? Well I have the place for you! It's National Grid! The hours are long, and the competence is short. Over my time there I saw vicious bullying, disrespect of subordinates, impossible hours with no thanks given to the employees, an entire team turned over within a one year period due to mistreatment, and most of all I saw a group of apathetic people worked into the ground by unyielding cruelty on the part of management. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to work here, which is ironic, since so many of my worst enemies already work at this company! Life can be beautiful, and full of surprises. But you will find no beautiful surprises at this company! The only surprises you will find at National Grid are constantly clogged toilets, and managers who find inventive ways to tear your soul to pieces. In short, I implore you to never work here. My therapist says that in a mere 20 years I may be able to get over working at National Grid, but I know as I lay sleepless at night picturing walking through those awful revolving doors every morning, that some experiences can haunt you for a lifetime. Also, this company stinks!

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.
