Pros

Compensation is good when compared to other companies in the area. It is bait.

Cons

The company is a mess because there is no need for it to maintain any sort of efficiency. ComEd senior execs maintain a spoils sytem in the work place, waste money like crazy, make bad decisions, and then go to the government and ask them to hike rates on consumers. The corportate offices in the South Loop are horrible. Employees are miserable, driven crazy by incompetent leadership. I started looking for a new job three weeks after I started here.

Pros

The pay is good, and the level of hands-on experience is good. Safety is a high priority. Competitive benefits. No competitors to worry about constantly since it is an energy distribution utility.

Cons

Log jam in career advancement. Overly complex and restrictive legal dept makes contracting with others a nightmare. Strict budget policies (with good reason) since it is a utility. Some divisions seem understaffed/overworked.

Pros

Good compensation and better than average benefits.

Cons

Lack of promotion opportunities. Politics. Unqualified people in management because they are friends and/or political contacts of the COO. Managers hassle you when you want to take the paid time off that you are entitled to.
