Pros

The benefits are good and the salary is competitive. The work life balance within the company is comparitive to no other company I know of. Managment is very thoruogh in communications and strive to develop your skills allowing you endless opportunities for advanacement if desired. Hard work and dedication are rewarded and the commrodary amongst employees is evident.

Cons

The work can be demanding and there is extreme criticism from media. The public opinion of the company is low but I believe this is based on little knowledge of how the electric utiltiy industry operates. With such a heavy population in the Metro NY area it is difficult an sometimes impossible to distribute the electricity as demanded.

Pros

There are many great reasons to work for Con Edison. They offer great benefits such as vision and medical, and there is room to grow and move up in the company. There are so many different departments and jobs that you can apply for within the company. Its not just a job, working for con ed is a career.

Cons

To be honest there are none that come to mind. It is a great company to work for. I just wish there was an employee discount on our bills.

Pros

Opportunities to grow professionally. Good Compensations. Informal. Each section (electrical, steam, gas) is very different from the others. If you are a mechanical engineer avoid steam operations.

Cons

Very incompetent management. At many cases having a higher education is under-appreciated. There is no defined plan/project or program for Interns.
