Vantaggi

Well meaning ideals Oh, and free fruit

Svantaggi

Good Energy is a disappointment. Given the obvious good intentions to change the energy market and promote green energy, it should be a great place to work. But it isn't. It's chaotic and as a result can be stressful. Following significant restructuring, what's left are isolated teams pulling in different directions, no clear vision or direction and a demoralised staff. Decisions are taken then changed frequently and not communicated enough, so the people on the ground are left unsure what is required of them. Poor decisions made on key processes and systems in the recent past, coupled with a rapidly-changing industry that the company is ill equipped to deal with, have left staff struggling to cope leading to poor customer service which not only affects the bottom line, but also how we feel about ourselves. Other than customer services, most of the company is housed in old, hot and unpleasant offices, which just aren't fit for purpose. To be fair, they've tried to improve the office recently, but that's (in the words of senior management) like putting lipstick on a pig. There's talk of a new office in a few years, but it seems hard to believe they'll get to that point. In the meantime, it just adds to the unpleasant nature of work at Good Energy.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We’ve had a year of change as we restructure and get our business in the best possible position for the future. As you say, the energy market is changing quickly and we’re having to change the way we operate and do business too. This includes an exciting, new business strategy which will see us expand our offer from not just clean energy supply but to digital services designed to help UK businesses and householders understand and manage their energy use. With this in mind we have increased investment in key areas such as our digital capability, marketing and customer services. The plans to build our new headquarters in Chippenham are progressing well and are on track. We aim to gain planning permission by the end of the year and for construction to begin early to mid-2019.

Vantaggi

• Supportive culture — The people at Good Energy are genuinely friendly, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. • Strong mission — The company’s commitment to sustainability and doing the right thing for customers is real, not just a slogan. • Flexible and understanding management — My manager was supportive and always willing to help when I needed guidance. • Positive work environment — Teams collaborate well and there’s a genuine sense of wanting to improve things.

Svantaggi

• Role fit — The role ultimately didn’t align with my strengths or the type of work I’m best at. • Pace and structure — The environment can be fast‑moving and process‑heavy, which won’t suit everyone.
