Pros

The work is really rewarding. Great local coworkers.

Cons

Upper leadership cannot be trusted. They have proven themselves to go back on their word and implement unpopular changes. A coworker aptly described how things have changed as feeling like AEP was bought out by private equity. No longer does the main mission seem to be to provide power to people, it seems to be to squeeze blood from a stone and provide profit to shareholders.
