Pros

Competitive compensation and opportunities for advancement. Because Con Ed is a monopoly (for all intents and purposes) if you are even marginally competent, you will have a job for as long as you wish!

Cons

Life at Con Ed is a double-edged sword; you will have no problem staying employed and fairly well compensated, but if you are looking for a dynamic environment where new ideas are embraced, you might want to look elsewhere
