Pros

its a stable job with variety of opportunities to move around within the company. there is a lot of pride within the company. the benefits are great, other than the salary the medical insurance is very good. they also have a discount stock program which i think is a great way to save money and at the same time be concerned about what is going on within the company. this brings up the pride that i have by working here. the people working here are also very friendly and helpful. sometime i wonder what drives people to be so nice to eachother

Cons

there are not many challenging work that are faced by the employees. this is one of the things that i had to get used to, but once i did it was no longer an issue. there's a certain pace at which everything is conducted and if you are on the same level then you will be comfortable working here. even though the work itself isnt very keenly scrutinized other things such as accurate time keeping and such matter are very important. so basically getting to work on time is more important than what i do for the 8 hrs that i spend here.

Pros

The pay rate is great compared to other industries and the are growth opportunities you can move between different departments, increasing your knowledge base. Benefits are great Coned is also one of the few last companies to offer a pension, to its union workers, along with a 401k.

Cons

There are no set days for personal or sick days and you may incurr a 'frequency' which goes on your record if you call in sick.
