Pros

The people on your team and your direct managers are very good, they clearly care about the people who work under them. I can say from my experience that my Line Manager and Section Manager were excellent.

Cons

The higher management of E.ON and those who make the key decisions clearly have no interest in listening to the staff. It is the staff that do the job day after day whether that is taking calls from customers or working in back office. The new senior management team that came into E.ON were more focused on making budget cuts and getting rid of people. They had no interest in making our jobs easier. It is clear now given the high number of people leaving that this is a company going downhill. It is a shame as the people leaving because these were loyal members of staff who were very good at the jobs they did. Key decisions made were made without any consultation with staff and I believe this mainly to the detriment of the customer. The customer is supposed to be the focus of what E.ON does but instead they have taken away the benefits of being an EON customer and made the staff really miserable.

Pros

Customer focussed. Care about all colleagues. Strong CEO and clear strategy.

Cons

None - it's the best company I've worked for in the area. The remuneration is good as is the mid and end of year review process plus a very clear commitment to personal development.

Pros

Good experience from any age and exposure to a wide range of experiences. Lot's of opportunities for internal movement to get experience and some genuinely good people

Cons

Poor management, layers of bureaucracy that makes change impossible and hard to deliver. Poor understanding of the challenges in the future. Tenure valued over merit and progression is limited
