American Electric Power reviews

Poor strategic decisions by overpaid executives. The boots on the ground people are staffed now "to keep the lights on" instead of any form of providing excellence. No succession planning. No real career path since advancing within your team getting promoted for increased skills is not even a thing anymore. Culture is management knows best and just go do what you're told.

Was an EXCELLENT company from a stability standpoint. But just like everything, changes are happening. A HUGE shakeup is occurring with this company. Had layoff in 2023 with ALL I.T. Contractors let go. Only to have another Major layoff with FTE's in Jan. They are literally just keeping the lights on at this point. New Executive I.T. Leaders are such a mismatch and out of alignment it's scary. They have a retail background and trying to run a utility company with that same MOTO. It STILL has NOT synced in with that Team that Retail does NOT have MANDATORY REGULATIONS. Yesterday the CEO got the BOOT, so that should show you the state of the company.
