Pros
- Really supportive culture; there really, really are wonderful people to work with throughout this company - Folks in the local Tulsa office are superb, including local leadership - Low-stress environment with autonomy to get my work done (at least in my department; others have more micromanagement) - The work itself is interesting; lots of opportunities to learn - Pretty good benefits and work life balance - Lots of interesting projects and project opportunities with the company's $54B spending plan
Cons
- Pay and bonuses are mediocre; not bad, but not great - Highly bureaucratic and complicated work environment; it's hard to get things done at AEP - Ohio leadership is controlling, paternalistic, and crams down policy that's not always logical or well thought out - Due to major company changes in the last year with the new CEO, workloads have gone up and everyone mostly overworked, overwhelmed, and burnt out. - Change fatigue is very much a thing here because policies and procedures change all the time.
