Pros

Used to be a good company.

Cons

American Electric Power is unfortunately no longer the company it used to be only a handful of years ago. I've seen drastic changes that always impact the common worker negatively in order to boost shareholder value. We've had huge turnover in recent years and incompetent leadership. Things have not changed and its always at the expense of the people at the bottom. Leadership has and continues to fail. We are overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated. People are flying for the exit now, I would suggest you look elsewhere before considering employment at AEP. It's the unspoken thing at the office that many are currently looking to leave. Good luck.

Pros

Only thing left that is probably going to get taken away is some people get to have take home vehicles.

Cons

Honestly everything. Things keep getting worse. I remember getting hired to work here and being so excited to start my career here. Now I dread every day. Everything good has been taken away and we are treated like children. Even the most patient of us has begun revising their resumes. We have been told monkeys could do our job. We have been told anyone can do our job. Not to mention engineers are paid terribly for what all we have to put up with. Every day I wish I could quote Johnny Paycheck and tell management to “take this job and shove it”.
