Pros

Experience experience experience. Learn all you can and meet some great people. Management is a very political backstabbing circle of friends. Not recommend getting into management level as it can hurt your career long run, skew the real world and hurt your ethics.

Cons

Location Location Location, Baltimore enough said. Terrble place to live. Sub par city and nast environment to look at. Can be viewed as a jerk as many there think they created the business when in fact they are just part of a large industry and have risen to the top of the game (for now) due to willingness to do anything to meet street expectations ( now that game is over)

Pros

The company made me pro union.

Cons

A disconnect from the real world by senior management. The Corporation does not allow local management to make decisions. Some salary positions may make "approved" overtime, but often may work for "free". If you are knowledgeable and prove to be a good worker you will be rewarded with more "opportunities". The pay for being available all of the time was not high enough. There were no boundaries. External employees hired into the industry are not mentored creating a lot of extra work and problems for most. There is a reason why most departments are short staffed and turnover is high. Due to geographic restrictions there is a. Fairly high nepotism rate. The complexity of nepotism and needless politics have made this a generally unfriendly work environment. People are always why a place is great. They are also the reason a place is not so great. There are some dedicated and knowledgable individuals that still work there. Some internal hires to not understand their new role and create a lot of turmoil. There is no structured mentorship or oversight for most new employees. Excessive amount of Fast Track Changes. Some groups are accounted for and external resources are hired to help. Out of still believing nuclear to be our best power option I will leave it at that. One of the worst PM programs I have seen, especially given the number of procedures, meetings and individuals involved. Increasingly complex and poorly designed administrative procedures with no higher overview or understanding of their impact. If you are doing an excellent job and no one can easily step in you will not have a career/position change unless you play the "games". Virtually no manager or supervisor oversight. If one or both are bad you have little recourse.

Pros

Constellation seems like a great company to work for, the Byron location was a great plant, and there were tons of highly-motivated and intelligent people there. Operations management keep a focus on nuclear and operational safety.

Cons

The Byron station hemorrhaged senior talent when it was scheduled to cease operations and it shows in who is their management. People were promoted to positions that they are either too immature for or would never have otherwise have been placed in such positions had the company and site had any other choice. 10 hour days were demanded of the staff and lower members of management even when not necessary in order to appear useful and/or busy; this had a hugely demoralizing effect on the staff. A lot of the E-4's and above want to be the smartest person in the room but lack the humility to recognize they're not experts in everything. There was definitely a "good old boys" club there. HR, in my opinion, is useless when investigating anything that might impact the company or site negatively. They are only there to protect management and the company.
